In
stellar homology
,
a
fixed dimensionless
density
profile gives
ρ
c
=
C
ρ
M

R

through the
mass
integral
. Integrating the
stellar hydrostatic equation
through the same profile gives
P
c
=
C
P
G
M

/
R

when
surface
pressure
is negligible. The
constants
depend on the
shape
, rather than the
mass
and
radius
. For an
ideal gas
,
T
c
=
