Abstract:
We experience a golden era in testing and exploring relativistic
gravity. Whether it is results from gravitational wave detectors,
satellite or lab experiments, radio astronomy plays an important
complementary role. Here one can mention the cosmic microwave
background, black hole imaging and, obviously, binary pulsars. This
talk will provide an overview how these methods relate to each other,
and will in particular focus on new results from the study of binary
pulsars, where we can test the behaviour of strongly self-gravitating
bodies with unrivalled precision. The talk will also give an outlook
of what we can expect from new experiments, such as with MeerKAT or
the SKA.
