Analytical approximation for the structure of differentially rotating barotropes

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Approximate analytical formula for density distribution in differentially rotating stars is derived. Any barotropic EOS and conservative rotation law can be handled with use of this method for wide range of differential rotation strength. Results are in good qualitative agreement with comparison to the other methods. Some applications are suggested and possible improvements of the formula are discussed.
