Reduced-order surrogate models for scalar-tensor gravity in the strong field regime and applications to binary pulsars and GW170817
We investigate the scalar-tensor gravity of Damour and Esposito-Far\`ese (DEF), which predicts non-trivial phenomena in the nonperturbative strong-field regime for neutron stars (NSs). Instead of solving the modified Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations, we construct reduced-order surrogate models, coded in the pySTGROM package, to predict the relations of a NS radius, mass, and …
