Abstract

This paper continues to elaborate on analytic methods to construct models for the internal structure of solar-type stars. Since a detailed stellar model is desired, a nonlinear analytic density distribution in terms of a two-parameter family of models has been assumed. Hydrostatic equilibrium and energy conservation determine the conditions in the gravitationally stabilized stellar fusion reactor. The results show once more that methods of differential and integral calculus provide a laboratory for the application of special functions of mathematical physics in stellar structure.
