Stellar astrophysics

the dimensionless equation for the structure of a self-gravitating sphere in which pressure scales as a power of density, the basis of polytropic star models.

In stellar astrophysics, Lane-Emden equation refers to the dimensionless equation for the structure of a self-gravitating sphere in which pressure scales as a power of density, the basis of polytropic star models. This meaning comes from Chandrasekhar (1939) in An introduction to the study of stellar structure.[1]
