Abstract
We complete the analysis of the equilibrium shapes of rotating self-gravitating gases initiated in Phys. Rev. Lett. 89 031101 (2002) (cond-mat/0202140) by studying the formation and thermodynamics of asymmetric binaries and by introducing a family of order parameters to classify the possible equilibrium states.
