Summary for Hadley & Imamura

Whitworth's (1981) Isothermal Free-Energy Surface

In what follows, we will draw heavily from three publications: (1) J. E. Tohline & I. Hachisu (1990, ApJ, 361, 394-407) — hereafter, TH90 — (2) J. W. Woodward, J. E. Tohline, & I. Hachisu (1994, ApJ, 420, 247-267) — hereafter, WTH94 — and (3) K. Hadley & J. N. Imamura (2011, Astrophysics and Space Science, 334, 1) — hereafter, HI11.


Another Improvement

I've realized that the phase plot is much smoother — in particular, the derivatives of both segments appear to match at their point of intersection — if we use <math>~D^{1/2}</math>, instead of simply <math>~D</math>, as the argument of the arctangent function. So, we define,

<math>~D_{1/2}(\varpi)</math>

<math>~\equiv</math>

<math>~\sqrt{D(\varpi)} = \biggl[ \frac{f_\ln(\varpi) - [f_\ln]_\mathrm{min}}{[f_\ln]_\mathrm{max} - [f_\ln]_\mathrm{min}} \biggr]^{1/2} \, ,</math>

and henceforward will set,

<math>~m\phi_m</math>

<math>~=</math>

<math>~\tan^{-1}[\aleph \cdot D_{1/2}(\varpi)] \, .</math>
