In his pioneering work, [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1893RSPTA.184...43D F. W. Dyson (1893, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London.

Overview

Here we will focus on the analysis of the structure self-gravitating tori that are composed of compressible — specifically, polytropic and isothermal — fluids as presented in a series of papers by Jeremiah. P. Ostriker:

I believe that much, if not all, of this material was drawn from Ostriker's doctoral dissertation research at the University of Chicago (and Yerkes Observatory) under the guidance of S. Chandrasekhar.

The following quotes have been taken from Petroff & Horatschek (2008):

§1:   "The problem of the self-gravitating ring captured the interest of such renowned scientists as Kowalewsky (1885), Poincaré (1885a,b,c) and Dyson (1892, 1893). Each of them tackled the problem of an axially symmetric, homogeneous ring in equilibrium by expanding it about the thin ring limit. In particular, Dyson provided a solution to fourth order in the parameter <math>~\sigma = a/b</math>, where <math>~a = r_t</math> provides a measure for the radius of the cross-section of the ring and <math>~b = \varpi_t</math> the distance of the cross-section's centre of mass from the axis of rotation."

§7:   "In their work on homogeneous rings, Poincaré and Kowalewsky, whose results disagreed to first order, both had made mistakes as Dyson has shown. His result to fourth order is also erroneous as we point out in Appendix B."

  1. Shortly after their equation (3.2), Marcus, Press & Teukolsky make the following statement: "… we know that an equilibrium incompressible configuration must rotate uniformly on cylinders (the famous "Poincaré-Wavre" theorem, cf. Tassoul 1977, &Sect;4.3) …"
