PX282 - D1 - stellar interiors
- consider a spherically-symmetric star of a radius, , and a mass, , which has a spherical shell of a thickness, , and a mass, , with a density,
- is the luminosity coming from inside the shell
- from hydrostatic equilibrium, the stellar structure equations:
- with equation , the pressure and the temperature at the core can be estimated
- assuming
- this gives:
- the real values is due to increased near the core
- assuming the core is an ideal gas,
