 Critical radius of a pressure-confined isothermal sphere

For the regular isothermal Lane-Emden equation, the first fixed-mass pressure turning point occurs at ${\xi }_{\mathrm{crit}}\simeq 6.451$. Thus the boundary radius there is $R_{\mathrm{crit}}\simeq 1.820c_s/\sqrt{G{\rho }_c}$, where $c_s^2=K$ is the squared isothermal sound speed. The approximate choice ${\xi }_{\mathrm{crit}}=6.5$ gives coefficient $1.83$. Comparing with the Jeans length requires specifying the reference density and remembering that the latter is a wavelength rather than a boundary radius.
