Apparently, only n = 3 polytropic configurations are considered. |

The purpose of this paper is … to extend Emden's [work] to the case of rotating gas spheres which in their non-rotating states have polytropic distributions described by the so-called Emden functions. … the gas sphere is set rotating at a constant small angular velocity <math>~\omega</math>. … we shall assume that the rotation is so slow that the configurations are only slightly oblate. |

If one assumes that the mass is distributed uniformly, the equilibrium configurations are the well-known Maclaurin spheroids. This paper will be devoted to finding the oscillation frequencies of the Maclaurin spheroids. |

Structures have been determined for axially symmetric [uniformly] rotating gas masses, in the polytropic and white-dwarf cases … Physical parameters for the rotating configurations were obtained for values of n < 3, and for a range of white-dwarf configurations. The existence of forms of bifurcation of the axially symmetric series of equilibrium forms was also investigated. The white-dwarf series proved to lack such points of bifurcation, but they were found on the polytropic series for n < 0.808. |

James attacked the problem by numerically solving the partial differential equations of the problem with the aid of an electronic computer, but even this method lead to difficulties for <math>~n \ge 3</math>. Of all the methods used so far James' is undoubtedly the most accurate, but also the most laborious. Here, results are presented for values of the polytropic index n = 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4. (Apparently, uniform rotation is assumed.) … no discussion of stability is given, we assume that the polytropes become unstable at the equator before a point of bifurcation is reached. |

The oscillations of slowly rotating polytopes are treated in this paper. The initial equilibrium configurations are constructed as in Chandrasekhar (1933). |
