Testing General Relativity with Pulsar Timing
Pulsars of very different types, including isolated objects and binaries (with short- and long-period orbits, and white-dwarf and neutron-star companions) provide the means to test both the predictions of general relativity and the viability of alternate theories of gravity. This article presents an overview of pulsars, then discusses the current status of and future prospects for tests of equi...
متن کاملTests of general relativity from timing the double pulsar.
The double pulsar system PSR J0737-3039A/B is unique in that both neutron stars are detectable as radio pulsars. They are also known to have much higher mean orbital velocities and accelerations than those of other binary pulsars. The system is therefore a good candidate for testing Einstein's theory of general relativity and alternative theories of gravity in the strong-field regime. We report...
متن کاملGravitational-Wave Tests of General Relativity with Ground-Based Detectors and Pulsar-Timing Arrays
This review is focused on tests of Einstein's theory of general relativity with gravitational waves that are detectable by ground-based interferometers and pulsar-timing experiments. Einstein's theory has been greatly constrained in the quasi-linear, quasi-stationary regime, where gravity is weak and velocities are small. Gravitational waves will allow us to probe a complimentary, yet previousl...
متن کاملOverview of Pulsar Tests of General Relativity
Radio pulsar observations can be used to test aspects of general relativity from equivalence principle violations to binary orbital effects in the strong-field regime. This article summarizes the status of such tests at the start of the meeting, and describes two new tests made possible by recent observations of well-known binary pulsar systems.
متن کاملPulsar Timing Observations and Tests of General Relativity in Double-neutron-star Binaries
We describe the techniques used in pulsar timing observations, and show how these observations may be applied to tests of strong-field general relativity for doubleneutron-star binary systems. We describe the tests of GR resulting from the PSRs B1913+16 and B1534+12 systems. For the latter pulsar, 5 ”Post-Keplerian” timing parameters are measurable, including the orbital period derivative and t...
