Multipole moments of bumpy black holes

General relativity predicts the existence of black holes, compact objects whose spacetimes depend only on their mass, spin, and charge in vacuum (the "no-hair" theorem). As various observations probe deeper into the strong fields of black hole candidates, it is becoming possible to test th...
