SUMMARY:Pulsar Tests of General Relativity - Ingrid Stairs (UBC)
DESCRIPTION:Pulsar Tests of General Relativity - Ingrid Stairs (UBC)
\n
\n
  
\nPulsars are radio-emitting neutron stars\, and therefore offer the op
 portunity
\nto probe relativistic effects near strongly self-gravitating o
 bjects.
\nPulsars orbiting white dwarfs\, which are far less dense\, allow
  for tests of 
\nvarious equivalence principles.  Pulsars in double-neut
 ron-star binaries 
\noften permit the measurement of multiple relativisti
 c corrections to a 
\nKeplerian orbit\, resulting in self-consistency tes
 ts for different 
\ngravitational theories.  I will review the principle
 s of pulsar timing and 
\nthe current status of these various tests\, inc
 luding the latest results
\nfrom the only known double-pulsar system.  I 
 will also discuss the 
\nprospects for direct detection of gravitational 
 waves via pulsar timing.
