abstract

• We recently reported on a series of equilibrium figures for a self-gravitating heterogeneous liquid body, consisting of two concentric distorted spheroids, nucleus and atmosphere, each endowed with its own internal motion of differential rotation. In our current work, we calculate the body's force at external points and obtain a multipolar expansion of the potential. We also give an account of figures with prolate nuclei, which remained unnoticed by us in our former paper. © 2017. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved.
