We present a theoretical interpretation of a recent experiment presented in ref. \citeZwierlein06 on the density profile of Fermi gases with unbalanced spin populations. We show that in the regime of strong interaction, the boundaries of the three phases observed in \citeZwierlein06 can be characterized by two dimensionless numbers η_α and η_β. Using a combination of a variational treatment and a study of the experimental results, we infer rather precise bounds for these two parameters.
