Half a centry ago Henry Norris Russell and Heinrich Vogt independently made a conjecture concerning the structure of spherical stars which are in hydrostatic and thermal equilibrium (Russell, 1927; Vogt, 1926). This conjecture has later come to be known as the Vogt-Russell theorem and is usually formulated as follows: The structure of a star is uniquely determined by the mass and the composition. In other words, the statement claims the existence and uniqueness of a stellar equilibrium configuration for given parameters mass and composition, and you may find what is called a mathematical proof in many textbooks on stellar structure.
