"The Most Relativistic Double Pulsar: Implications for Gravitational-Wave Detection and Neutron-Star Formation"


Vicky Kalogera
Northwestern University

Abstract:

The recent discovery of the first double pulsar system PSR J0737-3039 promises to be best laboratory ever found for general relativity and pulsar physics. I will discuss our current expectations for gravitational-wave detection and our current understanding of neutron-star formation in view of this exciting discovery.
