Astrophysical Tests of General Relativity| Astrophysical Tests of General Relativity |
In General
> s.a. cosmological tests; phenomenology
of higher-order gravity; tests of newtonian gravity.
* Strong-gravity regime: Two
approaches use observations of compact objects such as binary pulsars, and
detection of gravitational waves.
