| Abstract: |
Stellar rotation distorts the stellar spherical shape assumed in simplistic stellar models. We present first results of a study of a small sample of bright (V < 4), compact (size < 0.8 mas), fast rotators (V sin i > 150 km s-1). We have measured the projected oblateness of four of these stars using interferometric high angular resolution observations, deriving a lower bound for the rotational to break-up velocity ratio. |
