EQUATIONS OF STELLAR STRUCTURE ... - Princeton University

of stellar structure in a general, non spherical case, but very quickly we shall restrict ourselves to the spherically symmetric case. The microscopic properties of matter at any given point may be described with density ρ, tem-perature T, and chemical composition, i.e. the abundances of various elements Xi, with i = 1,2,3....
