Description

We will describe the theoretical basis that allows one
to use the timing of binary pulsars to test, with high precision, many
aspects of relativistic gravity (including the strong-field regime and radiative aspects of gravity).
All currently existing pulsar experimentals tests are in excellent agreement with
the predictions of general relativity.
