Multipole Moments of numerical spacetimes
  In this article we present some recent results on identifying correctly the relativistic multipole moments of numerically constructed spacetimes, and the consequences that this correction has on searching for appropriate analytic spacetimes that can approximate well the previously mentioned numerical spacetimes. We also present expressions that give the quadrupole and the spin octupole as functions of the spin parameter of a neutron star for various equations of state and in a range of masses for every equation of state used. These results are relevant for describing the exterior spacetime of rotating neutron stars that are made up of matter obeying realistic equations of state.
