Full event details

Proferssor Ben Stappers, from the University of Manchester, will discuss how we can use pulsars to undertake tests of Einstein's theory of gravity and also to study gravitational waves from binary supermassive black holes.  We are in a golden age of radioastronomy and Professor Stappers will present results from the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa and look forward to the world’s largest radio telescopes being built by the Square Kilometre Array Observatory.
