Abstract

Characteristic frequencies of some modes of radial pulsations and their relative displacements have been determined for a sequence of composite polytropic stellar models having an inner zone of index n = 1 and an envelope n = 5. It is demonstrated that vibrational stability increases with the degree of central condensation of the individual two zone models.
