3.Derivation of formula (7.2.14).To deduce (7.2.14) we have to derive the gravitational
potentialα. The first equation of (7.1.79) can be rewritten as

Byρ 0 =m/^43 πr^30 , and in the nondimensional form(r→r 0 r), we get


(7.2.16) α= ( 1 −δr^2 −η)−^1 for 0≤r≤ 1 ,


whereη,δare as in (7.2.12) and (7.2.13). By (7.1.81) we have


(7.2.17) η( 1 ) = 0 , (i.e.η(r 0 ) = 0 ).


Then, the formula (7.2.14) follows from (7.2.16).


  1. Derivation ofσ-factor (7.2.11). By (7.2.10) we need to calculateT′andψ′. By
    (7.1.80),T′can be expressed in the form

To considerψ′, by the second equation of (7.1.79) we obtain

(7.2.19) ψ=

eζ(r),

whereζ(r)is as in (7.2.12),kis a to-be-determined constant. In view of (7.1.81), i.e.ψ( 1 ) =
1 −δ, we have
k= ( 1 −δ)e−ζ(^1 ).


Then, it follows from (7.2.19) that


(7.2.20)
