摘要
Binary systems comprising at least one neutron star contain strong gravitational field regions and thereby provide a testing ground for strong-field gravity. Two types of data can be used to test the law of gravity in compact binaries: binary pulsar observations, or forthcoming gravitational-wave observations of inspiralling binaries. We compare the probing power of these two types of observations within a generic two-parameter family of tensor-scalar gravitational theories. Our analysis generalizes previous work (by us) on binary-pulsar tests by using a sample of realistic-equations of state for nuclear matter (instead of a polytrope), and goes beyond a previous study (by C. M. Will) of gravitational-wave tests by considering more general tensor-scalar theories than the one-parameter Jordan-Fierz-Brans-Dicke one. Finite-size effects in tensor-scalar gravity are also discussed.
