contents We study stationary configurations of compressible barotropic fluids lying inside an incompressible fluid and acted upon by a constant gravitational field. Without gravity, it is a simple matter to construct solutions consisting of perfectly spherical bubbles of compressible fluid, but with gravity the stratification of the compressible fluid's density prevents the existence of solutions with such simple geometries. We construct smooth solutions with nontrivial gravity and nearly spherical, axisymmetric geometry by means of a bifurcation argument in an appropriate weighted Sobolev space, defined in terms of the Legendre operator. Along the way, we develop a number of essential linear and nonlinear functional analytic tools for this scale of spaces, which are of independent interest.
