6. Sinrinkage <strong>of</strong> Isotnemal Sphere<br />

We denote <strong>the</strong> 'tmass'' <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> iso<strong>the</strong>rmal sphere, as defined by (6.1)~<br />

by 5, Then this mass will decrease, due to <strong>the</strong> progress <strong>of</strong> tne coding<br />

wave inward, according to<br />

dt= - PO Rf<br />

Note <strong>the</strong> po 5n <strong>the</strong> denominator and <strong>the</strong> absence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> factor &fly both<br />

due to <strong>the</strong> definition (6.1) The density <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> iso<strong>the</strong>rmal sphere is<br />

nearly uniform and vi11 be denoted by p<br />

Initial values at time tar<br />

The speed <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cooling wave is given by (5 .LO), thus<br />
