Extract

In an early paper Sterne investigated the pulsational properties of three stellar models with specified density distributions. He assumed a solution for the relative amplitude of the displacement to be of the form and on substitution into Eddington’s equation for small radial adiabatic oscillations of a star obtained a two-term recurrence relation to solve for the an in the case of each model.
