In the following code we will numerically solve the Lane-Emden equation. Initially we will use n=3 as polytrope index (a nice approximation to compute, for example, some Sun's properties), after which we will also consider other polytropic indices. We will then use the results found to compute some physical properties of some stars using data obtained from the Gaia archive.
