Tests of Relativistic Gravity using Millisecond Pulsars
Jon Bell (University of Manchester)
TL;DR
This paper reviews recent advancements in testing fundamental principles of general relativity, such as energy conservation, frame invariance, and the strong equivalence principle, through observations of millisecond pulsars.
Contribution
It summarizes recent progress in using millisecond pulsars to test key predictions of general relativity, highlighting new observational constraints.
Findings
No deviations from general relativity observed
Strong equivalence principle upheld within current measurement limits
Millisecond pulsars provide precise tests of relativistic gravity
Abstract
General relativity asserts that: energy and momentum conservation laws are valid, preferred frames do not exist, and the strong equivalence principle is obeyed. In this paper recent progress in testing these important principles using millisecond pulsars is summarised.
