Abstract |
In this talk I will summarize our current knowledge of double neutron star systems, with a focus on several recently discovered systems. I will discuss several previously noticed trends and some newly apparent ones - and what their astrophysical significance might be. I will then list the most up-to-date mass measurements for the binaries and also for individual neutron stars in them. It now appears that the birth mass distribution might be substantially wider than though even a couple of years ago. |

Title |
Tests of General Relativity with Pulsar-White Dwarf Binary Systems | |||||
| Coauthors | ||||||||
|
Abstract |
In this talk, I will emphasize some of the recent tests of general relativity with pulsar-white dwarf binaries, which have been especially constraining for several classes of alternative theories of gravity. I will then concentrate on some goals for the near future with these experiments: improving the precision of the tests themselves, improving limits on violation of Lorentz invariance of gravity, and improving the quality of the mass measurements of the neutron stars. |

Title |
Neutron Star Mass Measurements and Other Constraints on the Equation of State of Dense Matter | |||||
| Coauthors | ||||||||
|
Abstract |
In this short talk, I review some of the recent (and not so recent) neutron star mass measurements and how they help constrain the equation of state of matter at densities above that of the atomic nucleus. I then focus on upcoming mass measurements and their possible implications. Finally, I discuss briefly the possibility of measuring the moment of inertia of neutron stars in double neutron star systems, a measurement that would complement the NS mass measurements done to date. |
