Theories of Figures of Celestial Bodies (Dover Books on Physics)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The problem of the shape of a rotating body is universal in astronomy, and this book presents a full and rigorous treatment of the figures of equilibrium and distortions of rotating bodies. Suitable for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, it was written by a renowned researcher and educator. The first six chapters encompass the most exact methods used in the theory of figures of equilibrium, including those of Poincaré, Liapounov, Lichtenstein, and Wavre. The second part examines other problems concerning the figures of celestial bodies: invariable or varying figures, zonal rotation, systems composed of fluid and rigid parts, fluid mass and centers of attraction, and figures of compressible masses. 1958 ed.
