Pulsars
This working group addresses fundamental physics through the study of pulsars and gravitational waves.
Pulsars Working Group Introduction
The SKA Science Working Group on Fundamental Physics with Pulsars aims to ensure that the SKA will address some of the major unsolved problems of modern physics by tackling fundamental questions in ways that cannot be matched by any other experiment:
- Is General Relativity the ultimate theory of gravitation and, if not, what theory will replace it?
- What is the equation of state of matter beyond nuclear densities?
- How do super-massive black hole binary systems merge?
