A rotating system, such as a star, liquid drop, or atomic nucleus, may rotate as an oblate spheroid about its symmetry axis or, if the angular velocity is greater than a critical value, as a triaxial ellipsoid about a principal axis. The oblate and triaxial equilibrium configurations minimize the total energy, a sum of the rotational kinetic energy plus the potential energy. For a star or galaxy the potential is the self-gravitating potential, for a liquid drop, the surface tension energy, and for a nucleus, the potential is the sum of the repulsive Coulomb energy plus the attractive surface energy. A simple, but accurate, Pad{e} approximation to the potential function is used for the energy minimization problem that permits closed analytic expressions to be derived. In particular, the critical deformation and angular velocity for bifurcation from MacLaurin spheroids to Jacobi ellipsoids is determined analytically in the approximation.
Viscosity driven bar mode secular instabilities of rapidly rotating neutron stars are studied using LORENE/Nrotstar code. These instabilities set a more rigorous limit to the rotation frequency of neutron star than the Kepler frequency/mass shedding
Distribution of the two phonon $gamma$ vibrational collectivity in the rotating triaxial odd-$A$ nucleus, $^{103}$Nb, that is one of the three nuclides for which experimental data were reported recently, is calculated in the framework of the particle
This is prepared for a featured article in Nuclear Physics News. Recently, the global polarization of Lambda and bar{Lambda} hyperons in heavy-ion collisions (HIC) has been observed by the STAR Collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider in
This article reviews developments in the theory of rapidly rotating degenerate atomic gases. The main focus is on the equilibrium properties of a single component atomic Bose gas, which (at least at rest) forms a Bose-Einstein condensate. Rotation le
We investigate the possible occurrence of the highly-elongated shapes near the yrast line in $^{40}$Ca and $^{41}$Ca at high spins on the basis of the nuclear energy-density functional method. Not only the superdeformed (SD) yrast configuration but t
