Difference between Gravity darkening and Stellar rotation

Gravity darkening vs. Stellar rotation

Gravity darkening, also referred to as gravity brightening, is an astronomical phenomenon where a star rotates so rapidly that it has a detectably oblate spheroid shape, such as in Achernar in the constellation Eridanus. Stellar rotation is the angular motion of a star about its axis.

Similarities between Gravity darkening and Stellar rotation

Gravity darkening and Stellar rotation have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Achernar, Angular velocity, Centrifugal force, Star, Von Zeipel theorem.

Achernar

Achernar is the name of the primary (or 'A') component of the binary system designated Alpha Eridani (α Eridani, abbreviated Alf Eri, α Eri), which is the brightest 'star' or point of light in, and lying at the southern tip of, the constellation of Eridanus, and the tenth-brightest in the night sky.

Angular velocity

In physics, the angular velocity of a particle is the rate at which it rotates around a chosen center point: that is, the time rate of change of its angular displacement relative to the origin.

Centrifugal force

In Newtonian mechanics, the centrifugal force is an inertial force (also called a "fictitious" or "pseudo" force) directed away from the axis of rotation that appears to act on all objects when viewed in a rotating frame of reference.

Star

A star is type of astronomical object consisting of a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by its own gravity.

Von Zeipel theorem

In astrophysics, the von Zeipel theorem states that the radiative flux F in a uniformly rotating star is proportional to the local effective gravity g_\textrm.
