Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The equilibrium configurations of uniformly rotating white dwarfs are calculated in the framework of classical physics. The Chandrasekhar and the Salpeter equations of state are used to describe the white dwarf matter. The Hartle formalism is applied to the integration of the equations of hydrostatic equilibrium and field equations. The equations of structure have been expanded in powers of the angular velocity Ω of the white dwarf, and terms of higher order than Ω
