Self-Gravitating, Incompressible (Dyson-Wong) Tori

Much of the introductory material of this chapter has been drawn from the paper by Tohline & Hachisu (1990) titled, The Breakup of Self-Gravitating Rings, Tori, and Accretion Disks.

Overview

In his pioneering work, F. W. Dyson (1893, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. A., 184, 43 - 95) used analytic techniques to determine the approximate equilibrium structure of axisymmetric, uniformly rotating, incompressible tori. C.-Y. Wong (1974, ApJ, 190, 675 - 694) extended Dyson's work, using numerical techniques to obtain more accurate — but still approximate — equilibrium structures for incompressible tori having solid body rotation. Since then, Y. Eriguchi & D. Sugimoto (1981, Progress of Theoretical Physics, 65, 1870 - 1875) and I. Hachisu, J. E. Tohline & Y. Eriguchi (1987, ApJ, 323, 592 - 613) have mapped out the full sequence of Dyson-Wong tori, beginning from a bifurcation point on the Maclaurin spheroid sequence.
