Figure 78: The moment of inertia I vs. the deformation parameter ε for the Crab pulsar over the S5 run of the LIGO detector. The areas to the right of the diagonal lines are the experimentally excluded regions. The horizontal lines represent theoretical upper and lower limits on the moment of inertia. The lines labelled “uniform prior” and “restricted prior” are the results obtained respectively without and with prior information on the gravitational wave signal parameters. From [2].
