Extract

It was first shown by von Zeipel (1924) that strict radiative equilibrium is impossible in the radiative zones of a uniformly rotating star. This result lead Eddington (1925) and Vogt (1925) to independently suggest the existence of large-scale meridional currents in the radiative zones of rotating stars. Eddington argued that since these currents will transport angular momentum, the condition of strict radiative equilibrium would result in meridional currents combined with differential rotation.
