Figures of equilibrium of an inhomogeneous self-gravitating fluid

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the figures of equilibrium of a self-gravitating ideal fluid with density stratification and a steady-state velocity field. As in the classical setting, it is assumed that the figures or their layers uniformly rotate about an axis fixed in space.
