Gravitational Waves, Extreme Astrophysics, and Fundamental Physics with Precision Pulsar Timing
Abstract
This white paper outlines a pulsar timing program that will provide precision masses of neutron stars, stringent tests of General Relativity, and the detectors for light-year wavelength gravitational wave astronomy and astrophysics: millisecond pulsars, nature's most precise clocks.
