At present, 19 double neutron star (DNS) systems are detected by radio timing and 2 merging DNS systems are detected by kilo-hertz gravitational waves. Because of selection effects, none of them has an orbital period $P_b$ in the range of a few tens of minutes. In this paper we consider a multimessenger strategy proposed by Kyutoku et al. (2019), jointly using the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) and the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) to detect and study Galactic pulsar-neutron star (PSR-NS) systems with $P_b sim$ 10-100 min. We assume that we will detect PSR-NS systems by this strategy. We use standard pulsar timing software to simulate times of arrival of pulse signals from these binary pulsars. We obtain the precision of timing parameters of short-orbital-period PSR-NS systems whose orbital period $P_b in (8,120),$min. We use the simulated uncertainty of the orbital decay, $dot{P}_{b}$, to predict future tests for a variety of alternative theories of gravity. We show quantitatively that highly relativistic PSR-NS systems will significantly improve the constraint on parameters of specific gravity theories in the strong field regime. We also investigate the orbital periastron advance caused by the Lense-Thirring effect in a PSR-NS system with $P_b = 8,$min, and show that the Lense-Thirring effect will be detectable to a good precision.

We discuss a multimessenger strategy to detect radio pulses from Galactic binary neutron stars in a very tight orbit with the period shorter than 10 min. On one hand, all-sky surveys by radio instruments are inefficient for detecting faint pulsars in
very tight binaries due partly to the rarity of targets and primarily to the need of correction for severe Doppler smearing. On the other hand, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will detect these binaries with a very large signal-to-noise ratio and determine the orbital frequency, binary parameters, and sky location to high accuracy. The information provided by LISA will reduce the number of required pointings by two to six orders of magnitude and that of required trials for the corrections by about nine orders of magnitude, increasing the chance of discovering radio pulsars. For making full use of this strategy, it is desirable to operate high-sensitivity radio instruments such as Square Kilometer Array Phase 2 simultaneously with LISA.
Recent work highlights that tens of Galactic double neutron stars are likely to be detectable in the millihertz band of the space-based gravitational-wave observatory, LISA. Kyutoku and Nishino point out that some of these binaries might be detectabl
e as radio pulsars using the Square Kilometer Array (SKA). We point out that the joint LISA+SKA detection of a $f_text{gw}gtrsim$1 mHz binary, corresponding to a binary period of $lesssim$400 s, would enable precision measurements of ultra-relativistic phenomena. We show that, given plausible assumptions, multi-messenger observations of ultra-relativistic binaries can be used to constrain the neutron star equation of state with remarkable fidelity. It may be possible to measure the mass-radius relation with a precision of $approx$0.2% after 10 yr of observations with the SKA. Such a measurement would be roughly an order of magnitude more precise than possible with other proposed observations. We summarize some of the other remarkable science made possible with multi-messenger observations of millihertz binaries, and discuss the prospects for the detection of such objects.
Radio-loud neutron stars known as pulsars allow a wide range of experimental tests for fundamental physics, ranging from the study of super-dense matter to tests of general relativity and its alternatives. As a result, pulsars provide strong-field te
sts of gravity, they allow for the direct detection of gravitational waves in a pulsar timing array, and they promise the future study of black hole properties. This contribution gives an overview of the on-going experiments and recent results.
The tidal force from a third body near a binary system could introduce long-term oscillations in the binarys eccentricity, known as Kozai-Lidov oscillations. We show that the Kozai-Lidov oscillations of stellar-mass black hole binaries have the poten
tial to be observed by LISA. Detections of such binaries will give insights into binary formation channels and also provide an important benchmark of observing Kozai-Lidov oscillations directly.
General relativity is a fully conservative theory, but there exist other possible metric theories of gravity. We consider non-conservative ones with a parameterized post-Newtonian (PPN) parameter, $zeta_2$. A non-zero $zeta_2$ induces a self-accelera
tion for the center of mass of an eccentric binary pulsar system, which contributes to the second time derivative of the pulsar spin frequency, $ddot{ u}$. In our work, using the method in Will (1992), we provide an improved analysis with four well-timed, carefully-chosen binary pulsars. In addition, we extend Wills method and derive $zeta_2$s effect on the third time derivative of the spin frequency, $dddot{ u}$. For PSR B1913+16, the constraint from $dddot{ u}$ is even tighter than that from $ddot{ u}$. We combine multiple pulsars with Bayesian inference, and obtain an upper limit, $left|zeta_{2}right|<1.3times10^{-5}$ at 95% confidence level, assuming a flat prior in $log_{10} left| zeta_{2}right|$. It improves the existing bound by a factor of three. Moreover, we propose an analytical timing formalism for $zeta_2$. Our simulated times of arrival with simplified assumptions show binary pulsars capability in limiting $zeta_{2}$, and useful clues are extracted for real data analysis in future. In particular, we discover that for PSRs B1913+16 and J0737$-$3039A, $dddot{ u}$ can yield more constraining limits than $ddot{ u}$.
