Galactic center pulsar as a test of black hole existence and properties
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
There is a reasonable chance of finding a (probably X-ray) pulsar in a short-period orbit around the galactic center. Such a pulsar can provide a test distinguishing a central black hole from a supermassive object or spinar. It also makes available a good clock in a region of space in which GM/Rc2 is much larger than solar system values, thus allowing strong-field tests of general relativity.
