Such compact objects contain the densest form of matter in the observable universe, and therefore produce a strong gravitational field in their vicinity. The excellent rotational stability of pulsars makes them powerful tools for studying a wide range of topics in fundamental physics. This dissertation investigates four aspects using the new generation of radio telescopes: (1) constraining the dense matter equation of state by measuring the moment of inertia of neutron stars, (2) testing higher-order gravitational light propagation effects in the Double Pulsar system using observations from the MeerKAT telescope, (3) prospects of testing scalar-tensor gravity using pulsar-white dwarf system and hypothetical pulsar-black hole systems, and (4) recent advances in the detection of nanohertz gravitational waves using pulsar timing arrays and efforts to improve it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eliva Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45563357102231,"sku":"9789994987801","price":5449.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789994987801.webp?v=1768599343","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/gravity-tests-with-pulsars-using-new-generation-radio-telescopes-9789994987801","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
