Key Equations
Each of the equations displayed in the Tables, below, encapsulates a physical concept that is fundamental to our understanding of — and, hence our discussion of — the structure, stability, and dynamics of self-gravitating systems. The pervasiveness of these physical concepts throughout astrophysics is reflected in the fact that the same equations — perhaps written in slightly different forms — appear in numerous published books and research papers. When attempting to understand the physical concept that is associated with any one of these mathematical relations, it can be helpful to read how and in what context different authors have introduced the expression in their own work. These Tables offer guides to some parallel discussions that have appeared in published texts over the past 5+ decades in connection with selected sets of key physical relations.
EXAMPLE: Suppose you want to gain a better understanding of the origin of the ideal gas equation of state, the definition of the gas constant <math>~\Re</math>, or how to determine the value of the mean molecular weight <math>~\bar{\mu}</math> of a gas. According to the Table entitled Equations of State, you will find a discussion of the ideal gas equation of state: near Eq. (1) in §II.1 of Chandrasekhar (1967); near Eq. (80.8) in §IX.80 of Landau & Lifshitz (1975); near Eq. (5.91) in Vol. I, §5.6 of Padmanabhan (2000); etc. A "note" (linked to a comment further down on this page) appears along with a table entry if the relevant equation in the cited reference contains notations or symbol names that differ from the equation as displayed here.

Key Parallel References (printed texts spanning 5+ decades)
- [C67] Chandrasekhar, S. 1967 (originally, 1939), An Introduction to the Study of Stellar Structure (New York: Dover)
- EQ_EOSideal0A — In C67, the ideal gas equation of state is initially written in terms of the specific volume <math>~V</math>, instead of the mass density <math>~\rho</math>; also, it is initially assumed that <math>~\bar{\mu}</math> = 1. Both <math>~\rho</math> and <math>~\bar{\mu}</math> are introduced in §III.1, Eq.(5).
- [LL75] Laundau, L. D. & Lifshitz, E. M. 1975 (originally, 1959), Fluid Mechanics (New York: Pergamon Press)
- EQ_Continuity01 — LL75 present the Eulerian, rather than the Lagrangian form of the Continuity equation.
- EQ_Euler01 — In the Euler equation, LL75 do not initially include a source term to account for a gradient in the Newtonian gravitational potential, <math>~\Phi</math>; a term representing acceleration due to gravity, <math>\vec{g} = -\nabla\Phi</math>, is introduced in Eq.(2.4), but in LL75 this is intended primarily to describe gravity at the surface of the Earth.
- EQ_FirstLaw01 — LL75's Eq.(2.5) must be combined with their discussion of what they refer to as the familiar thermodynamic relation (between LL75 Eqs. 2.8 and 2.9) in order to appreciate the similarity with our expression.
- EQ_Poisson01 — In LL75, the symbol <math>\Delta</math>, rather than <math>\nabla^2</math>, is used to represent the Laplacian spatial operator.
- EQ_EOSideal0A — In LL75, the ideal gas equation of state is written in terms of the specific volume <math>~V</math>, as well as in terms of the mass density <math>~\rho</math>.
- [H87] Huang, K. 1987 (originally 1963), Statistical Mechanics (New York: John Wiley & Sons)
- EQ_Continuity01 — H87 presents the Eulerian, rather than the Lagrangian form of the Continuity equation, and the variable <math>\vec{u}</math> is used instead of <math>~\vec{v}</math> to represent the velocity.
- EQ_Euler01 — H87 presents the Eulerian, rather than the Lagrangian form of the Euler equation, and the variable <math>\vec{u}</math> is used instead of <math>~\vec{v}</math> to represent the velocity. Furthermore, to match the source term in our version of the Euler equation, we must set H87's applied acceleration, <math>\vec{F}/m = -\nabla</math><math>~\Phi</math>.
- EQ_FirstLaw01 — H87 begins a discussion of the 1st Law of Thermodynamics in the first section of the first chapter, but it does not appear in the form we present (relevant for a "dilute gas") until Eq.(4.31).

- [KW94] Kippenhahn, R. & Weigert, A. 1994, Stellar Structure and Evolution (New York: Springer-Verlag)
- EQ_Continuity01 — KW94 present the Eulerian, rather than the Lagrangian form of the Continuity equation.
- EQ_FirstLaw01 — In KW94, the symbol <math>u</math> instead of <math>~\epsilon</math> is used to represent the specific internal energy.
- EQ_EOSideal0A — In KW94, the ideal gas equation of state is actually first introduced in §2.2, Eq.(27), but it is seriously discussed in Chapter 13. KW94 provide a particularly nice explanation of how to calculate the model parameter, <math>~\bar{\mu}</math>.
- EQ_SShydrostaticBalance01 — In KW94, the hydrostatic balance equation is expressed in terms of <math>dP/dM_r</math> instead of <math>dP/dr</math>; and the second term on the right-hand-side allows for a net radial acceleration.

- EQ_Poisson01 — See also Vol.I: §10.4, Eq.(10.58).
