Constructing analytic approximate solutions to the Lane–Emden equation

Abstract We derive analytic approximations to the solutions of the Lane–Emden equation, a basic equation in Astrophysics that describes the Newtonian equilibrium structure of a self-gravitating polytropic fluid sphere. After recalling some basic results, we focus on the construction of rational approximations, discussing the limitations of previous attempts, and providing new accurate approximate solutions.
