We have studied the f-mode oscillations of differentially rotating polytropes by making use of the linear stability analysis. We found that the critical values of T/|W| where the dynamical instability against the m = 2 f-mode oscillations sets in decrease down to T/|W| ~ 0.20 as the degree of differential rotation becomes higher. Here m is an azimuthal mode number and T and W are the rotational energy and gravitational potential energy, respectively. This tendency is almost independent of the…
