Pressure-confined singular isothermal gas sphere
ID: pressure-confined-singular-isothermal-gas-sphere
Truncating the singular isothermal gas profile at radius gives and boundary pressure . The internal energy of a monatomic gas is , while shell integration gives gravitational self-energy . Thus , with . The confining pressure supplies the virial surface term. This singular-central-density model differs from a regular pressure-confined isothermal sphere.
