Gravitational-wave versus binary-pulsar tests of strong-field gravity
Binary systems comprising at least one neutron star contain strong gravitational field regions and thereby provide a testing ground for strong-field gravity. Two types of data can be used to test the law of gravity in compact binaries: binary pulsar observations, or forthcoming gravitational-wave observations of inspiralling binaries. We compare the probing power of these two types of observati...
متن کاملBinary-pulsar Tests of Strong-field Gravity and Gravitational Radiation Damping∗
This talk reviews the constraints imposed by binary-pulsar data on gravity theories, focusing on “tensor-scalar” ones which are the best motivated alternatives to general relativity. We recall that binary-pulsar tests are qualitatively different from solar-system experiments, because of nonperturbative strong-field effects which can occur in compact objects like neutron stars, and because one c...
متن کاملTests of Strong-field Gravity and Gravitational Radiation Damping in Binary-pulsar Systems
This talk reviews the constraints imposed by binary-pulsar data on gravity theories, and notably on “scalar-tensor” theories which are the most natural alternatives to general relativity. Because neutron stars have a strong gravitational binding energy, binarypulsar tests are qualitatively different from solar-system experiments: They have the capability of probing models which are indistinguis...
متن کاملComparing Solar - System , Binary - Pulsar , and Gravitational - Wave Tests of Gravity
This talk is based on my work in collaboration with Thibault Damour. We compare the probing power of different classes of gravity experiments: solar-system tests (weak-field regime), binary-pulsar tests (strong-field regime), and future gravitational-wave observations of inspi-ralling binaries (strong-field effects detected in our weak-gravitational-field conditions). This is done within the mo...
متن کاملD ec 1 99 6 Binary - pulsar tests of strong - field gravity ∗
This talk is based on my work in collaboration with Thibault Damour since 1991. Unified theories, like superstrings, predict the existence of scalar partners to the graviton. Such theories of gravity can be very close to general relativity in weak-field conditions (solar-system experiments), but can deviate significantly from it in the strong-field regime (near compact bodies, like neutron star...
