Pulsars and Gravitational Waves Research
Pulsars and Gravitational Waves Research is a research topic within Astronomy and Astrophysics. Science Explorer counts 35k research works in it since 1950. 30.4% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the observation, study, and implications of gravitational waves from binary black hole and neutron star mergers, as well as the use of LIGO and Virgo detectors for these detections. It also delves into the equation of state of nuclear matter, pulsar timing, compact binary mergers, tests of general relativity, and the potential of space-borne detectors for gravitational wave observations.
