Ipser, J. R. ; Managan, R. A. Abstract The effects of inhomogeneity on the emission of gravitational radiation from Jacobi configurations (uniformly rotating nonaxisymmetric configurations) are studied. If the equation of state is approximated by a polytropic relation, a neutron-star core with adiabatic index gamma lower than 3 can radiate up to a fraction about 0.001 to 0.0001 of its mass-energy while passing through a Jacobi phase during its evolution. This maximum fraction drops to zero at gamma of above 9/4, where Jacobi configurations cease to exist in the polytropic approximation. While some of the results suggest that the fast pulsar PSR 1937 + 214 is hovering near the Jacobi bifurcation point, it appears more likely that the pulsar is not rotating sufficiently rapidly for this to be the case.
