Testing <em>f(R)</em>-Theories by Binary Pulsars

Using the Post-Keplerian parameters to obtain, in the Minkowskian limit we obtain constraints on <em>f(R)</em>-theories of gravity from the first time derivative of the orbital period of a sample of binary stars. In the approximation in which the theory is Taylor expandable, we can estim...
