What I have checked is actually to see whether the QLM results satisfy the no-hair theorem of Kerr black holes, i.e., to see whether, M_0 = M_bh, M_2 = -(J_bh)^2/M_bh, ... J_1= J_bh, J_3 = -(J_bh)^3/(M_bh)^2, ... , when the bh formed in the simulation becomes stationary. E.g., > plot "quasilocalmeasures::qlm_multipole_moments..asc" u 9:(-$23*$23/$13) > replot "quasilocalmeasures::qlm_multipole_moments..asc" u 9:15 where $23=M_bh, $13=J_bh, and the 15th column of the data represents the 2nd mass multipole moment of the bh. > I see that you mention a collapsing star: what multipoles are you > calculating in that case?

The multipole, here, means the mutipole moment of the black hole found by the horizon finder (AHFinderDirect), not the multipole moment of matter. Cheers, Hee Il
