For fixed-composition monatomic ideal gas plus equilibrium blackbody radiation, let R=k/(μH) and β=Pg​/P. The mass-specific heats are cP​=R(32−24β−3β2)/(2β2) and cV​=R(24−21β)/(2β). The specific-heat ratio is Γ1​/β, not generally any one of the stellar adiabatic exponents. Differentiate at constant total pressure rather than at constant β.
