On the Principle of the Exchange of Stabilities. I. The Roche Ellipsoids.
Abstract
The principle of the exchange of stabilities is discussed in the context of the Roche ellipsoids. It is shown that the vanishing of a characteristic frequency at a point along the Roche series does not imply an exchange of stabilities at that point.
