Now, beginning with Version 2 of our expression for the Gravitational Potential of Axisymmetric Mass Distributions, let's also map the (unprimed) cylindrical coordinate pair, (ϖ,z), to the same (but, unprimed) toroidal coordinate system, (η,θ), and place the toroidal coordinate system's anchor ring in the equatorial plane of the cylindrical-coordinate system such that, (ϖa,za)=(a,0). This gives, what we will refer to as the,

Gravitational Potential of an Axisymmetric Mass Distribution (Version 3)

Φ(ϖ,z)|axisym

=

2Ga2[(coshηcosθ)sinhη]1/2config[sinhη'(coshη'cosθ')5]1/2μK(μ)ρ(η',θ')dη'dθ',

where:μ2=2sinhη'sinhηsinhη'sinhη+coshη'coshηcos(θ'θ).
