X-ray pulsed light curves of highly compact neutron stars as probes of scalar–tensor theories of gravity by Tulio Ottoni, Jaziel G. Coelho, Rafael C. R. de Lima, Jonas P. Pereira, Jorge A. Rueda

“…Consequently, scalar parameters might be better constrained when uncertainties in NS radii decrease, where this could occur with the advent of next-generation gravitational wave detectors, such as the Einstein Telescope and LISA, as well as future electromagnetic missions like eXTP and ATHENA. Thus, our findings suggest that accurate X-ray data of the NS surface emission, jointly with refined theoretical models, could constrain STTs.…”
