As a result, pulsars provide strong-field tests of gravity, they allow for the direct detection of gravitational waves in a 'pulsar timing array', and they promise the future study of black hole properties. This contribution gives an overview of the on-going experiments and recent results.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-06-13T07:25:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fundamental physics", "radio-loud neutron stars", "black hole properties", "general relativity", "strong-field tests" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
