Rotation and Stellar Interiors (Review Paper)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Extract
Research into the effect of rotation on the internal structure of stars has a long and detailed history. The names of McLaurin, Jacobi, Kelvin and Jeans are associated with detailed work on the structure and stability of rotating liquid masses assuming uniform rotation. Much of this work is summarized in Jeans’ (1929) Astronomy and Cosmogony and more recent summaries are given in Lyttleton (1953) and Lebovitz (1967).
