In an accompanying discussion, we derived the so-called,
Adiabatic Wave (or Radial Pulsation) Equation
<math>~ \frac{d^2x}{dr_0^2} + \biggl[\frac{4}{r_0} - \biggl(\frac{g_0 \rho_0}{P_0}\biggr) \biggr] \frac{dx}{dr_0} + \biggl(\frac{\rho_0}{\gamma_\mathrm{g} P_0} \biggr)\biggl[\omega^2 + (4 - 3\gamma_\mathrm{g})\frac{g_0}{r_0} \biggr] x = 0 </math> |
whose solution gives eigenfunctions that describe various radial modes of oscillation in spherically symmetric, self-gravitating fluid configurations. According to our accompanying derivation, if the initial, unperturbed equilibrium configuration is an <math>~(n_c, n_e) = (0,0)</math> bipolytrope, then we know that the relevant functional profiles are as follows for the core and envelope, separately.
