Rotation
rate, oblateness and measured external gravitational multipoles provide constraints beyond
mass
and
radius
;

the deep
rotation
rate and

matter
. These
measurements
require an interior

or supplementary constraints for an accurate

:
a
spherically symmetric

s
exterior monopole alone cannot reveal its radial
