On the figure of elastic planets I: gravitational collapse and infinitely many equilibria
A classic problem of elasticity is to determine the possible equilibria of an elastic planet modelled as a homogeneous compressible spherical elastic body subject to its own gravitational field. In the absence of gravity the initial radius is given and the density is constant. With gravity and for s...
