Discovery of a possible pulsar in the Milky Way's center could enable unprecedented tests of General Relativity

Researchers from Columbia University and Breakthrough Listen, a scientific research program aimed at finding evidence of civilizations beyond Earth, have published new results from the Breakthrough Listen Galactic Center Survey, one of the most sensitive radio searches ever conducted for pulsars in the dynamically complex central region of the Milky Way. The study, led by recent Columbia Ph.D. graduate Karen I. Perez, was published in The Astrophysical Journal.
