Universality in the run-up of shock waves to the surface of a star

We investigate the run-up of a shock wave from inside to the surface of a perfect fluid star in equilibrium and bounded by vacuum. Near the surface we approximate the fluid motion as plane-symmetric and the gravitational field as constant. We consider the 'hot' equation of state P = (? ? 1...
