Testing Lorentz violation with binary pulsars: constraints on standard model extension (1208.0736v1)

Published 3 Aug 2012 in gr-qc and astro-ph.HE

Abstract: Under the standard model extension (SME) framework, Lorentz invariance is tested in five binary pulsars: PSR J0737-3039, PSR B1534+12, PSR J1756-2251, PSR B1913+16 and PSR B2127+11C. By analyzing the advance of periastron, we obtain the constraints on a dimensionless combination of SME parameters that is sensitive to timing observations. The results imply no evidence for the break of Lorentz invariance at $10^{-10}$ level, one order of magnitude larger than previous estimation.
