title: Solar oblateness and fluid spin-down.
abstract: An experiment performed on a differentially rotating, density-stratified fluid shows that "spin-down" need not occur under the condition of stratification. Inasmuch as density stratification occurs in the interior of the sun, spin-down probably does not exist in the solar interior, and the observed solar oblateness may indicate that the sun contains a rapidly spinning core.
