In the course of researches on the formation of galaxies one meets the following idealized problem. What is the form of the collapse under gravitational forces of a uniformly rotating spheroidal gas cloud? In the special case where initially the gas is absolutely cold and of uniform density within the spheroid, we show that the collapse proceeds through a series of uniform, uniformly rotating spheroids until a disk is formed.

  • Classic paper by C. C. Lin, Leon Mestel, and Frank Shu (1965, ApJ, 142, 143) titled, "The Gravitational Collapse of a Uniform Spheroid."
