Figure 3.

Meridional plane cross section of a rapidly rotating strange star at the mass-shedding limit, obtained with a multi-domain spectral code. The various lines are isocontours of the log-enthalpy H, as defined in [ 133 ]. Solid lines indicate a positive value of H and dashed lines a negative value (vacuum). The thick solid line denotes the stellar surface. The thick dot-dashed line denotes the boundary between the two computational domains.
