Pressure Truncation
While it's true that space is not vacuum, in which sense and to what degree is it more accurate to ignore all mass beyond \(R_\text{max}\) (being defined via \(\rho(R_\text{max})=\rho_\text{background}\)) instead of letting the density vanish continuously and thus ignoring less of the mass?
