Abstract
The equation governing radial pulsations of fully relativistic stars is derived and expressed in terms of quantities which are continuous even across density discontinuities which occur, e.g., in zero-temperature stellar models that undergo electron capture. When expressed in terms of these quantities, the pulsation equation can be integrated through density discontinuities without any special treatment of these points being necessary. Expressions for the adiabatic index and pulsation energy are derived in a simple way.
