Another Equilibrium Sequence of Self-Gravitating and Rotating Incompressible Fluid
Abstract
A new sequence of gravitational equilibria was obtained for uniformly rotating axisymmetric incompressible fluid. This sequence parts from the Maclaurin sequence at the neutral point against the P_4(η) displacement at the surface. It continues into a concave hamburger-like shape, and finally into a toroid. Therefore, this neutral point on the Maclaurin sequence is one of the points of bifurcation.
