Testing Einstein’s Equivalence Principle by Timing a Pulsar in a Stellar Triple System
PSR J0337+1715, a millisecond pulsar in a hierarchical stellar triple system with two white dwarfs, provides a stringent test of gravity via Einstein’s strong equivalence principle!
Astro2020 science white papers are in and the decadal survey is underway!
Just over a week ago astronomers from all over the United States submitted white papers to the Astro2020 decadal survey on topics across the field of astronomy. They are great short summaries of topics from planetary systems to galaxy evolution to multi-messenger astronomy and everything in-between.
