Density Distribution Corresponding to one Potential of Elliptical Galaxies
Abstract
The potential of a spheroid with a quartic disturbing term is assumed. If the disturbing term is not very small the equidensity surfaces corresponding to this potential are ellipsoids with similar strata. This potential could exist in some elliptical galaxies.
