Note, in particular, that as the eccentricity varies smoothly from zero (spherical configuration) to unity (infinitesimally thin disk), the energy ratio, <math>~\tau</math>, varies smoothly from zero to one-half. In his examination of the Maclaurin spheroid sequence, [[Appendix/References#T78|Tassoul (1978)]] chose to use this energy ratio as the ''order parameter'', <span id="Figs3and4">rather than the eccentricity</span>. <table border="1" align="center"><tr><td align="center"> <table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td align="center">'''Figure 3'''</td> <td align="center" rowspan="3"> </td> <td align="center">'''Figure 4'''</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> [[File:T78Fig4.2omega2.png|center|350px|Maclaurin Spheroid Sequence]] </td> <td align="center"> [[File:T78Fig4.2angmom.png|center|350px|Maclaurin Spheroid Sequence]] </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> Solid black curve also may be found in: <div align="center"> Fig. 4.2 (p. 88) & Fig. 10.1 (p. 236) of [<b>[[Appendix/References#T78|<font color="red">T78</font>]]</b>] </div> </td> <td align="center"> This solid black curve also appears in: <div align="center"> Fig. 4.2 (p. 88) & Fig. 10.12 (p. 237) of [<b>[[Appendix/References#T78|<font color="red">T78</font>]]</b>] </div> </td> </tr> </table> </td></tr></table> Following Tassoul, our Figure 3 shows how the square of the angular velocity varies with <math>~\tau</math>, and our Figure 4 shows how the system angular momentum varies with <math>~\tau</math>. In these plots, respectively, the square of the angular velocity has been normalized by <math>~2\pi G \rho</math> — that is, by a quantity that is a factor of two larger than the normalization adopted in EFE — while the angular momentum has been normalized to the same quantity used in EFE. As above, the small solid-green square marker identifies the location along the sequence where the system with the maximum angular velocity resides.
