Tests of Conservation Laws in Post-Newtonian Gravity with Binary Pulsars

General relativity is a fully conservative theory, but there exist other possible metric theories of gravity. We consider nonconservative ones with a parameterized post-Newtonian parameter, ζ2. A nonzero ζ2 induces a self-acceleration for the center of mass of an eccentric binary pulsar system, whic...
