Testing scalar-tensor gravity with radio pulsars — •Alexander Batrakov1, Huanchen Hu1, Norbert Wex1, Paulo Freire1, Vivek Venkatraman Krishnan1, and Michael Kramer1,2 — 1Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie, Auf dem Hügel 69, 53121 Bonn, Germany — 2Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics, The University of Manchester, M13 9PL, United Kingdom
The talk will highlight some of the latest results in testing the strong-field aspects of scalar-tensor gravity (STG) with radio pulsars, which include spontaneous scalarization, dipolar radiation, and the violation of the universality of free fall by strongly self-gravitating bodies. Some of these results are based on a new timing model that provides a fully consistent analysis of pulsar timing data for certain classes of STG theories.
