The x-ray emission of hot spots on the surface of neutron stars is the prime target of the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER). These x-ray pulse profiles not only encode information of the bulk properties of these stars, which teaches us about matter at supranuclear densities, but also about the spacetime curvature around them which teaches us about relativistic gravity. We explore the possibility of performing strong-gravity tests with NICER observations using a recently developed pulse profile model beyond general relativity. Our results suggest that NICER can place constraints on deviations from general relativity due to an additional scalar degree of freedom which are independent and competitive relative to constraints with binary pulsar observations.

Modeling the Anisotropic Tidal Effect on the Spin-Spin Correlations of Low-Mass Galactic Halos
A two-parameter formula with anisotropic tidal terms reproduces simulated halo spin-spin correlations out to 20 Mpc/h on dwarf to Milky Way mass scales.
