rotating star  

Definición

  • A star that has a non-zero angular velocity. In a rotating star, the centrifugal forces reduce the effective gravity according to the latitude and also introduce deviations from sphericity. In a rotating star, the equations of stellar structure need to be modified. The usual spherical coordinates must be replaced by new coordinates characterizing the equipotentials.
