Abstract

In this paper we propose suitable modifications in the concept of Roche equipotentials to account for the effect of mass distribution inside the star on its equipotential surfaces and use this in conjunction with the approach of Kippenhahn and Thomas, in a manner earlier used by Prasad and Mohan, to incorporate the effects of rotational and tidal forces in the equations of stellar structure parameters. The proposed method has been used to compute the structure parameters of the rotationally and tidally distorted Prasad model of the star.
