In a separate chapter, we focused on the pioneering work of 📚 F. W. Dyson (1893, Phil. Trans. Royal Soc. London. A., Vol. 184, pp. 43 - 95), 📚 F. W. Dyson (1893, Phil. Trans. Royal Soc. London. A., Vol. 184, pp. 1041 - 1106) and, more recently, 📚 C. -Y. Wong (1974, ApJ, Vol. 190, pp. 675 - 694), who determined the approximate equilibrium structure of axisymmetric, uniformly rotating, incompressible tori. We will refer to these uniformly rotating configurations as "Dyson-Wong tori."
Here, we summarize the work of 📚 P. S. Marcus, W. H. Press, & S. A. Teukolsky (1977, ApJ, Vol. 214, pp. 584 - 597) — hereafter, MPT77 — who constructed a sequence of toroidal-shaped, self-gravitating, incompressible configurations that are not uniformly rotating but, rather, have a distribution of angular momentum that is identical to the distribution found in Maclaurin spheroids. Following the lead of MPT77, we will refer to each of these configurations as a "Maclaurin Toroid."
