In this paper we analyze the question for surfaces of revolution generated by real rational profile curves, and we describe a simple small superset of the real zone of the surface not covered by the parametrization. This superset consists, in the worst case, of the union of a circle and the mirror curve of the profile curve. %K Revolution surface %K Rational parametrization %K Critical set %K Covering parametrization %K Real algebraic surface %K Geometric computation %K Ciencia %K Matemáticas %K Science %K Mathematics %~ Biblioteca Universidad de Alcala
