Full description

Pulsars found closely orbiting the supermassive black hole candidate at the centre of our Galaxy, Sgr A*, could be used to perform the most precise tests of theories of gravity, and to accurately measure the properties of the black hole itself, such as the mass and spin. These measurements can be used to test the no hair theorem and cosmic censorship conjecture in Einsteins theory of General Relativity. The recent discovery of a magnetar in the immediate vicinity of Sgr A* prooves pulsars are indeed present in this region and detectable at lower frequencies than previously thought. We propose to perfom deep searches for such pulsars.
