Moment of inertia as a function of the relativity parameter ﹩M/ R﹩. The curves labeled TIV, TVII, NIV, Inc, and Buch refer to analytic solutions of Einstein’s equations, while other curves refer to a variety of equations of state (see Lattimer & Prakash 2001 for details). The shaded band illustrates the relation eq. (12).
