===n' = 0 Configurations=== {{ EH85 }} sought to find bifurcation points along the Maclaurin spheroid sequence where the associated, deformed equilibrium configuration has the same radial distribution of specific angular momentum — as a function of the integrated mass fraction — as does a uniformly rotating, uniform density sphere. That is, inside the integral that defines the centrifugal potential, <math>\Psi</math>, they set, <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>h(\varpi) = \varpi^2 \dot\varphi(\varpi)</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \frac{5J}{2M}\biggl\{ 1 - [1 - m(\varpi) ]^{2 / 3} \biggr\} \, , </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="3"> {{ Stoeckly65 }}, §II.c, eq. (12)<br /> {{ EH85 }}, §2.1 (p. 290), Eq. (1) </td> </tr> </table> where, the mass fraction, <div align="center"> <math>m(\varpi) \equiv \frac{M_\varpi(\varpi)}{M} \, .</math> </div> From our example set of familiar [[AxisymmetricConfigurations/SolutionStrategies#SRPtable|simple rotation profiles]], these might reasonably be referred to as [[AxisymmetricConfigurations/SolutionStrategies#Uniform-Density_Initially_(n'_=_0)|<math>n' = 0</math> configurations]]. Instead, {{ EH85 }} label their deformed equilibrium configurations as follows: "The Maclaurin spheroidal sequence bifurcates into a ''concave hamburger like'' configuration and reaches — as originally discovered and labeled by {{ MPT77 }} — the ''Maclaurin toroidal'' sequence."
