Abstract

The general analytical solution for the static spherically symmetric metric supported by a perfect fluid with isothermal (proportional) equation-of-state p=wρp = w \rho is not known at the time of this writing, except for the trivial cases w=0w=0 and w=1w=-1; and for w=1/3w=-1/3. We show that if Buchdahl coordinates are used, the problem becomes analytically solvable for w=1/5w=-1/5; display and discuss the solution(s), and exhibit the connection of this case to the w=1w=-1 case.
