Abstract

Abstract Polytropes have long been used to model a wide variety of astrophysical objects. A bipolytrope (composite polytrope) may be used for bodies with a distinct core-envelope structure. In this short paper, I demonstrate that a rotating bipolytrope is a reasonable approximation for Jovian interior. Similar models may be used to probe rotating exoplanets to gain an intuitive understanding of their internal structure.
