Event Information:

We are experiencing a golden era in testing and exploring relativistic gravity. 
Whether it is results from gravitational wave detectors, satellite or lab 
experiments, radio astronomy plays an important complementary role. 
Here one can mention the cosmic microwave background, black hole 
imaging and, obviously, binary pulsars. This talk will provide an overview of
how these methods relate to each other, and will in particular focus on new 
results from the study of binary pulsars, where we can test the behaviour 
of strongly self-gravitating bodies with unrivalled precision.
