Nested spheroidal figures of equilibrium – II. Generalization to layers

Abstract: We present a vectorial formalism to determine the approximate solutions to the problem of a composite body made of ${\cal L}$ homogeneous, rigidly rotating layers bounded by spheroidal surfaces. The method is based on the 1st-order expansion of the gravitational potential over confocal parameters, thereby generalizing the method described in Paper I for ${\cal L}=2$. For a given relative geometry of the ellipses and a given set of mass-density jumps at the interfaces, the sequence of rotation rates and interfa… Show more
