A Polytropic Approach to Semi-relativistic Isothermal Gas Spheres at Arbitrary Temperature

Abstract

We use standard polynomial expansion technique to show the existence of a relation between polytropic model and the description of gas spheres at finite temperature. A numerical analysis is made concerning the obtained perturbative parameters. It is shown that there is a correspondence between polytropic and gas sphere thermal models for fermions and bosons. For instance, the polytropic index $n$ displays evident correlation with temperature and chemical potential.
