New results from testing relativistic gravity with radio astronomy

Prof. Michael Kramer , MPI fuer Radioastronomie, Bonn

https://zoom.us/j/97377192005?pwd=OUZPR1Z3ZGc5WDZPYW1SakEzV1pvQT09 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 a brief overview but will focus mostly on new results from study of strongly self-gravitating bodies with unrivalled precision. It compares the results to other methods and will give an outlook of what we can expect from new instruments such as MeerKAT, which already provides amazing results.
