On rotating star solutions to non-isentropic Euler-Poisson equations

This paper investigates rotating star solutions to the Euler-Poisson equations with a non-isentropic equation of state. As a first step, the equation for gas density with a prescribed entropy and angular velocity distribution is studied. The resulting elliptic equation is solved either by the method of sub and supersolutions or by a variational method, depending on the value of the adiabatic index. The reverse problem of determining angular velocity from gas density is also considered.
