Neutron stars as extreme gravity probes
arXiv:2407.17578 · doi:10.1007/978-981-97-2871-8_4
Abstract
Neutron stars are powerful probes into the extremes of physics. In this chapter, we will discuss how observations of neutron stars, either in isolation or in binaries, can be leveraged to test general relativity and constrain competing theories of gravity.
