BlackHoleCam -- Testing general relativity with pulsars orbiting Sagittarius A*
- Publication Year :

Abstract
- BlackHoleCam is a project funded by a European Research Council Synergy Grant to build a complete astrophysical description of nearby supermassive black holes by using a combination of radio imaging, pulsar observations, stellar astrometry and general relativistic magneto-hydrodynamic models. BlackHoleCam scientists are active partners of the Event Horizon Telescope Consortium. In this talk I will discuss the use of pulsars orbiting Sagittarius A* for tests of General Relativity, the current difficulties in detecting such sources, recent results from the Galactic Centre magnetar PSR J1745-2900 and how BlackHoleCam aims to search for undiscovered pulsars in the Galactic Centre.<br />Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, Proceedings of The Fifteenth Marcel Grossmann Meeting on General Relativity, University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy, 1 - 7 July 2018
