Probes and Tests of Strong-Field Gravity with Observations in the Electromagnetic Spectrum
Neutron stars and black holes are the astrophysical systems with the strongest gravitational fields in the universe. In this article, I review the prospect of using observations of such compact objects to probe some of the most intriguing general relativistic predictions in the strong-field regime:...
