"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.
