Abstract

In relativistic Astrophysics the II-Love-QQ relations refer to approximately EoS-independent relations involving the moment of inertia, Love number, and quadrupole moment through some quantities that are normalised by the mass M0M_0 of the background configuration of the perturbative scheme. Since M0M_0 is not an observable quantity, this normalisation hinders the direct applicability of the relations. A common remedy assumes that M0M_0 coincides with the actual mass of the star MSM_S; however, this approximation is only adequate for very slow rotation (when the dimensionless spin parameter is χS<0.1\chi_S<0.1). The more accurate alternative approach, based on the II-Love-QQ-δM\delta M set of relations, circumvents this limitation by enabling the inference of M0M_0. Here we review both approaches and provide numerical comparisons.
