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 fluids. 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 significantly from the equation as displayed here.

Caption for Plots:   Here we explain how we assembled the various plots — shown immediately above in the right-hand column of the "Toroidal Function Evaluations" table — that depict the behavior of various associated Legendre (toroidal) functions (see the related discussion) having varying half-integer degrees <math>~P^0_{-\frac{1}{2}}</math>, <math>~P^0_{+\frac{1}{2}}</math>, <math>~Q^0_{-\frac{1}{2}}</math>, <math>~Q^0_{+\frac{1}{2}}</math>, <math>~Q^0_{+\frac{3}{2}} \, ,</math> and (in association with a separate related discussion) having varying order <math>~Q^1_{-\frac{1}{2}}</math>, <math>~Q^2_{-\frac{1}{2}}</math>.


For each choice of the integer indexes, <math>~n \ge 0</math> and <math>~m \ge 0</math>, the relevant plot shows how the function, <math>~X^n_{m-\frac{1}{2}}(z)</math>, varies with <math>~z</math>. The solid green circular markers in each plot identify data that has been pulled directly from Table IX (p. 1923) of [MF53]. In each plot, the solid orange circular markers identify function values that we have calculated using the relevant formulae as expressed herein in terms of the complete elliptic integrals, <math>~K(k)</math> and <math>~E(k)</math>, where the relevant values of the elliptic integrals have been pulled directly from tabulated values published in pp. 535 - 537 of the 1971 (19th) edition of the CRC's Standard Mathematical Tables, published by the Chemical Rubber Co., Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A..


NOTE: The tabulated values of the function, <math>~Q^1_{-\frac{1}{2}}</math>, that appear in Table IX (p. 1923) of [MF53] are all positive, whereas, according to our derivation, they should all be negative. Therefore, for comparison purposes of this specific function — both here and in our accompanying discussion — we have plotted the absolute value of the function, <math>~|Q^1_{-\frac{1}{2}}(z)|</math>.


ADDITIONAL NOTE:   In Example 4 on p. 340 of Abramowitz & Stegun (1995), we can pull one additional data point for comparison; specifically, they provide a high-precision evaluation of <math>~Q^0_{-\frac{1}{2}}(z = 2.6) = 1.419337751</math>, which is entirely consistent with the lower-precision value that we have extracted from [MF53].
