Wepresent a theoretical study of the density profile of atrapped strongly interacting Fermi gas with unbalanced spin populations. Makingthe assumption of the existence of a first order phasetransition between an unpolarized superfluid phase and a fully polarizednormal phase, we show good agreement with a recent experimentpresented by Partridge et al.
