A rotated and harmonically trapped Bose gas with attractive interactions is expected to either remain stationary or escape from the trap. Here we report that, on the contrary, in an anharmonic trapping potential the Bose gas with attractive…
We theoretically investigate the effect of an anisotropic trap on the instability of the polar $(m_F=0)$ phase of a spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate. By considering rigorously the spatial quantization, we show that the growth of the nascent…

In order to simulate rigidly rotating polytropes we have simulated systems of $N$ point particles, with $N$ up to 1800. Two particles at a distance $r$ interact by an attractive potential $-1/r$ and a repulsive potential $1/r^2$. The…
