Uniform-Density Maclaurin Spheroids

When constructing rotating equilibrium configurations that obey a barotropic equation of state, keep in mind that certain physical variable profiles should be avoided because they will lead to structures that are unstable toward the dynamical development of shape-distorting or convective-type motions. Here are a few well-known examples.
