Hard biaxial ellipsoids revisited: numerical results

Monte Carlo simulations are performed for hard ellipsoids for a number of values of its semi-axes in the range $c\mathrm{/}a\in \{0.1,10\}$. The isotropic phase results are compared to the Vega equation of state [Mol. Phys. {\bf 92} (1997) 651-665]. The position of the isotropic-nematic transition is also evaluated. The biaxial phase is seen to form only after the previous formation of a discotic phase.
