Homologous polytropes at fixed central temperature

ID: homologous-polytropes-at-fixed-central-temperature

For finite-radius regular polytropes of one fixed index and composition, let be the first zero of the Lane-Emden function and . Hydrostatic scaling gives . Fixed central temperature therefore implies . This is not the fixed-entropy-constant sequence; if the index or composition changes, their prefactors cannot be discarded.
