Here we construct a bipolytrope in which the core has an <math>~n_c=1</math> polytropic index and the envelope has an <math>~n_e=5</math> polytropic index. As in the case of our separately discussed, "mirror image" bipolytropes having <math>~(n_c, n_e) = (5, 1)</math>, this system is particularly interesting because the entire structure can be described by closed-form, analytic expressions.

Steps 2 & 3
Based on the discussion presented elsewhere of the structure of an isolated <math>n=5</math> polytrope, the core of this bipolytrope will have the following properties:
