Equilibrium Figures inside the Dark-Matter Ring and the Shapes of Elliptical Galaxies
We solve the general problem of the theory of equilibrium figures and analyze two classes of liquid rotating gravitating figures residing inside a gravitating ring or torus. These figures form families of sequences of generalized oblate spheroids and triaxial ellipsoids, which at the lower limit of...
