\layout Abstract

To investigate the physical nature of the `nuc\SpecialChar \-
leated instability' of proto
 giant planets (Mizuno 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{mizuno}

\end_inset 

), the stability of layers in static, radiative gas spheres is analysed
 on the basis of Baker's 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{baker}

\end_inset 

 standard one-zone model.
 It is shown that stability depends only upon the equations of state, the
 opacities and the local thermodynamic state in the layer.
 Stability and instability can therefore be expressed in the form of stability
 equations of state which are universal for a given composition.
\layout Abstract

The stability equations of state are calculated for solar composition and
 are displayed in the domain 
\begin_inset Formula \( -14\leq \lg \rho /[\mathrm{g}\, \mathrm{cm}^{-3}]\leq 0 \)
\end_inset 

, 
\begin_inset Formula \( 8.8\leq \lg e/[\mathrm{erg}\, \mathrm{g}^{-1}]\leq 17.7 \)
\end_inset 

.
 These displays may be used to determine the one-zone stability of layers
 in stellar or planetary structure models by directly reading off the value
 of the stability equations for the thermodynamic state of these layers,
 specified by state quantities as density 
\begin_inset Formula \( \rho  \)
\end_inset 

, temperature 
\begin_inset Formula \( T \)
\end_inset 

 or specific internal energy 
\begin_inset Formula \( e \)
\end_inset 

.
 Regions of instability in the 
\begin_inset Formula \( (\rho \, e) \)
\end_inset 

-plane are described and related to the underlying microphysical processes.
 Vibrational instability is found to be a common phenomenon at temperatures
 lower than the second He ionisation zone.
 The 
\begin_inset Formula \( \kappa  \)
\end_inset 

-mechanism is widespread under `cool' conditions.

Introduction
\layout Standard

In the 
\emph on 
nucleated instability
\emph default 
 (also called core instability) hypothesis of giant planet formation, a
 critical mass for static core envelope protoplanets has been found.
 Mizuno (
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{mizuno}

\end_inset 

) determined the critical mass of the core to be about 
\begin_inset Formula \( 12\, M_{\oplus } \)
\end_inset 

 (
\begin_inset Formula \( M_{\oplus }=5.975\, 10^{27}\, \mathrm{g} \)
\end_inset 

 is the Earth mass), which is independent of the outer boundary conditions
 and therefore independent of the location in the solar nebula.
 This critical value for the core mass corresponds closely to the cores
 of today's giant planets.
\layout Standard

Although no hydrodynamical study has been available many workers conjectured
 that a collapse or rapid contraction will ensue after accumulating the
 critical mass.
 The main motivation for this article is to investigate the stability of
 the static envelope at the critical mass.
 With this aim the local, linear stability of static radiative gas spheres
 is investigated on the basis of Baker's (
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{baker}

\end_inset 

) standard one-zone model.
 The nonlinear, hydrodynamic evolution of the protogiant planet beyond the
 critical mass, as calculated by Wuchterl (
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{wuchterl}

\end_inset 

), will be described in a forthcoming article.
\layout Standard

The fact that Wuchterl (
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{wuchterl}

\end_inset 

) found the excitation of hydrodynamical waves in his models raises considerable
 interest on the transition from static to dynamic evolutionary phases of
 the protogiant planet at the critical mass.
 The waves play a crucial role in the development of the so-called nucleated
 instability in the nucleated instability hypothesis.
 They lead to the formation of shock waves and massive outflow phenomena.
 The protoplanet evolves into a new quasi-equilibrium structure with a 
\emph on 
pulsating
\emph default 
 envelope, after the mass loss phase has declined.
\layout Standard

Phenomena similar to the ones described above for giant planet formation
 have been found in hydrodynamical models concerning star formation where
 protostellar cores explode (Tscharnuter 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{tscarnuter}

\end_inset 

, Balluch 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{balluch}

\end_inset 

), whereas earlier studies found quasi-steady collapse flows.
 The similarities in the (micro)physics, i.e., constitutive relations of protostel
lar cores and protogiant planets serve as a further motivation for this
 study.

In this section the one-zone model of Baker (
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{baker}

\end_inset 

), originally used to study the Cephe<68>d pulsation mechanism, will be briefly
 reviewed.
 The resulting stability criteria will be rewritten in terms of local state
 variables, local timescales and constitutive relations.

Baker (

 gas clouds with the following properties:
\layout Itemize

hydrostatic equilibrium,
\layout Itemize

thermal equilibrium,
\layout Itemize

energy transport by grey radiation diffusion.
\layout Standard

For the one-zone-model Baker obtains necessary conditions for dynamical,
 secular and vibrational (or pulsational) stability [Eqs.

 Using Baker's notation:

\begin_inset Formula 
\begin{equation}

Baker's 
\begin_inset Formula \( K \)
\end_inset 

 and 
\begin_inset Formula \( \sigma _{0} \)
\end_inset 

 have the following form:
\begin_inset Formula

\end_inset 

where 
\begin_inset Formula \( E_{\mathrm{th}}\approx m(P_{0}/\rho _{0}) \)
\end_inset 

 has been used and

\label{}
\begin{array}{l}
\delta =-\left( \frac{\partial \ln \rho }{\partial \ln T}\right) _{P}\\

\end_inset 

is a thermodynamical quantity which is of order 
\begin_inset Formula \( 1 \)

 and equal to 
\begin_inset Formula \( 1 \)

 for nonreacting mixtures of classical perfect gases.
 The physical meaning of

 Substituting into Baker's criteria, using thermodynamic identities and
 definitions of thermodynamic quantities, 
\begin_inset Formula 
\[
\Gamma _{1}=\left( \frac{\partial \ln P}{\partial \ln \rho }\right) _{S}\, ,\: \chi _{\rho }=\left( \frac{\partial \ln P}{\partial \ln \rho }\right) _{T}\, ,\: \kappa _{P}=\left( \frac{\partial \ln \kappa }{\partial \ln P}\right) _{T}\]

\end_inset

\begin_inset Formula 
\begin{eqnarray}
\frac{\pi ^{2}}{8}\frac{1}{\tau _{\mathrm{ff}}^{2}}(3\Gamma _{1}-4) & > & 0\label{ZSDynSta} \\
\frac{\pi ^{2}}{\tau _{\mathrm{co}}\tau _{\mathrm{ff}}^{2}}\Gamma _{1}\nabla _{\mathrm{ad}}\left[ \frac{1-3/4\chi _{\rho }}{\chi _{T}}(\kappa _{T}-4)+\kappa _{P}+1\right]  & > & 0\label{ZSSecSta} \\
\frac{\pi ^{2}}{4}\frac{3}{\tau _{\mathrm{co}}\tau _{\mathrm{ff}}^{2}}\Gamma _{1}^{2}\nabla _{\mathrm{ad}}\left[ 4\nabla _{\mathrm{ad}}-(\nabla _{\mathrm{ad}}\kappa _{T}+\kappa _{P})-\frac{4}{3\Gamma _{1}}\right]  & > & 0\label{ZSVibSta} 
\end{eqnarray}

\end_inset 

For a physical discussion of the stability criteria see Baker (
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{baker}

\end_inset 

) or Cox (
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{cox}

\end_inset 

).
\layout Standard

We observe that these criteria for dynamical, secular and vibrational stability,
 respectively, can be factorized into
\layout Enumerate

a factor containing local timescales only,
\layout Enumerate

a factor containing only constitutive relations and their derivatives.
\layout Standard

The first factors, depending on only timescales, are positive by definition.
 The signs of the left hand sides of the inequalities
\protected_separator 
(
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{ZSDynSta}

\end_inset 

), (
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{ZSSecSta}

\end_inset 

) and (
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{ZSVibSta}

\end_inset 

) therefore depend exclusively on the second factors containing the constitutive
 relations.
 Since they depend only on state variables, the stability criteria themselves
 are 
\emph on 
functions of the thermodynamic state in the local zone
\emph default 
.
 The one-zone stability can therefore be determined from a simple equation
 of state, given for example, as a function of density and temperature.
 Once the microphysics, i.e.
 the thermodynamics and opacities (see Table
\protected_separator 

\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{KapSou}

\end_inset 

), are specified (in practice by specifying a chemical composition) the
 one-zone stability can be inferred if the thermodynamic state is specified.
 The zone -- or in other words the layer -- will be stable or unstable in
 whatever object it is imbedded as long as it satisfies the one-zone-model
 assumptions.
 Only the specific growth rates (depending upon the time scales) will be
 different for layers in different objects.

The constitutive relations are to be evaluated for the unperturbed thermodynamic

 We see that the one-zone stability of the layer depends only on the constitutiv

 These depend only on the unperturbed thermodynamical state of the layer.

Conclusions
\layout Enumerate

The conditions for the stability of static, radiative layers in gas spheres,
 as described by Baker's (
\begin_inset LatexCommand \cite{baker}

\end_inset 

) standard one-zone model, can be expressed as stability equations of state.
 These stability equations of state depend only on the local thermodynamic
 state of the layer.
\layout Enumerate

If the constitutive relations -- equations of state and Rosseland mean opacities
 -- are specified, the stability equations of state can be evaluated without
 specifying properties of the layer.
\layout Enumerate

For solar composition gas the 
\begin_inset Formula \( \kappa  \)
\end_inset 

-mechanism is working in the regions of the ice and dust features in the
 opacities, the 
\begin_inset Formula \( \mathrm{H}_{2} \)
\end_inset 

 dissociation and the combined H, first He ionization zone, as indicated
 by vibrational instability.
 These regions of instability are much larger in extent and degree of instabilit
y than the second He ionization zone that drives the Cephe<68>d pulsations.
