Abstract

We prove the nonlinear asymptotic stability of the gravitational hydrostatic equilibrium for the general equation of state of pressure–density relation in the framework of vacuum free boundary problem of spherically symmetric compressible Navier–Stokes–Poisson equations in three dimensions. The results apply to white dwarfs and polytropes for all γ > 4/3 including the case of γ ≥ 2 which was not addressed in previous literature. Detailed decay rates of perturbations are given. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2024.
