Extract

Polytropic models have played a significant part in the historical development of stellar structure theory and in other related branches of theoretical astronomy such as stellar pulsations and rotation. In modern astronomy polytropic solutions, because of their wide range of density distributions and our ability to introduce them analytically if necessary, now have an acknowledged role in large scale numerical experiments especially during the developmental stages.
