Linear Density Distribution
In an article titled, "Stellar Evolution: A Survey with Analytic Models," R. F. Stein (1966, in Stellar Evolution, Proceedings of an International Conference held at the Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD, U.S.A., edited by R. F. Stein & A. G. W. Cameron, pp. 1-105) defines the "Linear Stellar Model" as a star whose density "varies linearly from the center to the surface," that is (see his equation 3.1),
<math>\rho(r) = \rho_c\biggl( 1 - \frac{r}{R} \biggr) \, ,</math>
where, <math>~\rho_c</math> is the central density and, <math>~R</math> is the radius of the star. Both the mass distribution and the pressure distribution can be obtained analytically from this specified density distribution. Specifically, following our general solution strategy for determining the equilibrium structure of spherically symmetric, self-gravitating configurations,
|
<math>~M_r(r)</math> |
<math>~=</math> |
<math>~\int_0^r 4\pi r^2 \rho(r) dr</math> |
|
|
<math>~=</math> |
<math>~\frac{4\pi\rho_c r^3}{3} \biggl[1 - \frac{3}{4} \biggl( \frac{r}{R} \biggr)\biggr] \, ,</math> |
in which case we have,
<math>M_\mathrm{tot} \equiv M_r(R) = \frac{\pi\rho_c R^3}{3} \, ,</math>
and we can write,
|
<math>~g_0(r) \equiv \frac{G M_r(r) }{r^2} </math> |
<math>~=</math> |
<math>~\frac{4\pi G \rho_c r}{3} \biggl[1 - \frac{3}{4} \biggl( \frac{r}{R} \biggr)\biggr] \, .</math> |
Hence, proceeding via what we have labeled as "Technique 1", and enforcing the surface boundary condition, <math>~P(R) = 0</math>, Stein (1966) determines that (see his equation 3.5),
|
<math>~P(r)</math> |
<math>~=</math> |
<math>~- \int_0^r g_0(r) \rho(r) dr</math> |
|
|
<math>~=</math> |
<math>~\frac{\pi G\rho_c^2 R^2}{36} \biggl[5 - 24 \biggl( \frac{r}{R} \biggr)^2 + 28 \biggl( \frac{r}{R} \biggr)^3 - 9 \biggl( \frac{r}{R} \biggr)^4 \biggr] \, ,</math> |
where, it can readily be deduced, as well, that the central pressure is,
<math>~P_c = \frac{5\pi}{36} G\rho_c^2 R^2 \, .</math>
As has been derived in an accompanying discussion, the second-order ODE that defines the relevant Eigenvalue problem is,
<math>
\frac{d^2x}{d\chi_0^2} + \biggl[\frac{4}{\chi_0} - \biggl(\frac{\rho_0}{\rho_c}\biggr) \biggl(\frac{P_0}{P_c}\biggr)^{-1} \biggl(\frac{g_0}{g_\mathrm{SSC}}\biggr) \biggr] \frac{dx}{d\chi_0} + \biggl(\frac{\rho_0}{\rho_c}\biggr) \biggl(\frac{P_0}{P_c}\biggr)^{-1} \biggl(\frac{1}{\gamma_\mathrm{g}} \biggr)\biggl[\tau_\mathrm{SSC}^2 \omega^2 + (4 - 3\gamma_\mathrm{g})\biggl(\frac{g_0}{g_\mathrm{SSC}}\biggr) \frac{1}{\chi_0} \biggr] x = 0 .
</math>
where the dimensionless radius,
<math>
\chi_0 \equiv \frac{r_0}{R} \, ,
</math>
<math> g_\mathrm{SSC} \equiv \frac{P_c}{R\rho_c}</math> and <math>\tau_\mathrm{SSC} \equiv \biggl( \frac{R^2\rho_c}{P_c}\biggr)^{1/2} \, . </math>
For Stein's configuration with a linear density distribution,
<math> g_\mathrm{SSC} = \frac{5\pi G\rho_c R}{36}</math> and <math>\tau_\mathrm{SSC} \equiv \biggl( \frac{36}{5\pi G \rho_c }\biggr)^{1/2} = \biggl( \frac{12}{5}\cdot \frac{R^3}{GM_\mathrm{tot} }\biggr)^{1/2} \, . </math>
and the governing adiabatic wave equation takes the form,
|
<math>~0</math> |
<math>~=</math> |
<math>~ \frac{d^2x}{d\chi_0^2} + \biggl\{ \frac{4}{\chi_0} - \biggl(1-\chi_0\biggr) \biggl[ 1-\frac{24}{5}\chi_0^2 + \frac{28}{5}\chi_0^3 - \frac{9}{5}\chi_0^4 \biggr]^{-1} \biggl[\frac{48}{5} \chi_0 \biggl(1-\frac{3}{4}\chi_0\biggr)\biggr] \biggr\} \frac{dx}{d\chi_0} + \biggl(1-\chi_0\biggr) \biggl[ 1-\frac{24}{5}\chi_0^2 + \frac{28}{5}\chi_0^3 - \frac{9}{5}\chi_0^4 \biggr]^{-1} \biggl(\frac{1}{\gamma_\mathrm{g}} \biggr)\biggl\{ \tau_\mathrm{SSC}^2 \omega^2 + (4 - 3\gamma_\mathrm{g})\biggl[\frac{48}{5} \biggl(1-\frac{3}{4}\chi_0\biggr)\biggr] \biggr\} x </math> |

<math>~=</math> |
<math>~\biggl[ 1-\frac{24}{5}\chi_0^2 + \frac{28}{5}\chi_0^3 - \frac{9}{5}\chi_0^4 \biggr] \frac{d^2x}{d\chi_0^2} + \biggl\{ \frac{4}{\chi_0}\biggl[ 1-\frac{24}{5}\chi_0^2 + \frac{28}{5}\chi_0^3 - \frac{9}{5}\chi_0^4 \biggr] - \biggl(1-\chi_0\biggr) \biggl[\frac{48}{5} \chi_0 \biggl(1-\frac{3}{4}\chi_0\biggr)\biggr] \biggr\} \frac{dx}{d\chi_0} + \frac{1}{\gamma_\mathrm{g}} \biggl(1-\chi_0\biggr) \biggl\{ \frac{12}{5} \biggl( \frac{\omega^2 R^3}{GM_\mathrm{tot}}\biggr) + (4 - 3\gamma_\mathrm{g})\biggl[\frac{48}{5} \biggl(1-\frac{3}{4}\chi_0\biggr)\biggr] \biggr\} x </math> |

<math>~=</math> |

Parabolic Density Distribution
In an article titled, "Radial Oscillations of a Stellar Model," C. Prasad (1949, MNRAS, 109, 103) investigated the properties of an equilibrium configuration with a prescribed density distribution given by the expression,
<math>\rho(r) = \rho_c\biggl[ 1 - \biggl(\frac{r}{R} \biggr)^2 \biggr] \, ,</math>
where, <math>~\rho_c</math> is the central density and, <math>~R</math> is the radius of the star. Both the mass distribution and the pressure distribution can be obtained analytically from this specified density distribution. Specifically, following our general solution strategy for determining the equilibrium structure of spherically symmetric, self-gravitating configurations,
|
<math>~M_r(r)</math> |
<math>~=</math> |
<math>~\int_0^r 4\pi r^2 \rho(r) dr</math> |
|
|
<math>~=</math> |
<math>~\frac{4\pi\rho_c r^3}{3} \biggl[1 - \frac{3}{5} \biggl( \frac{r}{R} \biggr)^2 \biggr] \, ,</math> |
in which case we can write,
|
<math>~g_0(r) \equiv \frac{G M_r(r) \rho(r)}{r^2} </math> |
<math>~=</math> |
<math>~\frac{4\pi G \rho_c^2 r}{3} \biggl[ 1 - \biggl(\frac{r}{R} \biggr)^2\biggr] \biggl[1 - \frac{3}{5} \biggl( \frac{r}{R} \biggr)^2\biggr] </math> |
|
|
<math>~=</math> |
<math>~\frac{4\pi G \rho_c^2 r}{15} \biggl[ 5 - 8\biggl(\frac{r}{R} \biggr)^2 + 3\biggl( \frac{r}{R} \biggr)^4\biggr] \, .</math> |
Hence, proceeding via what we have labeled as "Technique 1", and enforcing the surface boundary condition, <math>~P(R) = 0</math>, Prasad (1949) determines that,
|
<math>~P(r)</math> |
<math>~=</math> |
<math>~- \int_0^r g_0(r) dr</math> |
|
|
<math>~=</math> |
<math>~\frac{2\pi G\rho_c^2 R^2}{15} \biggl[2 - 5 \biggl( \frac{r}{R} \biggr)^2 + 4 \biggl( \frac{r}{R} \biggr)^4 - \biggl( \frac{r}{R} \biggr)^6 \biggr] </math> |
|
|
<math>~=</math> |
<math>~\frac{4\pi G\rho_c^2 R^2}{15} \biggl[1-\biggl(\frac{r}{R}\biggr)^2\biggr]^2 \biggl[1-\frac{1}{2}\biggl(\frac{r}{R}\biggr)^2\biggr] \, ,</math> |
where, it can readily be deduced, as well, that the central pressure is,
<math>~P_c = \frac{4\pi}{15} G\rho_c^2 R^2 \, .</math>
