On the analytic solution of the lane-emden equation

The Lane-Emden equation describing temperature in a star in hydrostatic equilibrium was recently solved analytically by N.T. Shawagfeh [1] with highly accurate results using decomposition [1–9]. Further consideration suggests some computational advantage, avoidance of the initial transformations, possible generalizations in astrophysics, and a measurement to determine masses of the cepheids.
