Abstract:

We use the so-called complex plane iterative technique (CIT) to the computation of polytropic stars distorted by rotation (either rigid or differential) and magnetic fields (both toroidal and poloidal). We give emphasis on computing (i) critically rotating configurations, and (ii) configurations that – due to the counterbalancing of the effects of rotation and poloidal magnetic field with the effects of toroidal magnetic field – obtain an almost spherical shape.
