Elliptical galaxies: Rotationally distorted, after all

On the basis of earlier investigations on homeoidally striated Mac Laurin spheroids and Jacobi ellipsoids (Caimmi and Marmo 2005, Caimmi 2006a, 2007), different sequences of configurations are defined and represented in the ellipticity-rotation plane, (Oêχ2v). The rotation parameter, χ2v, is defined...
