The timing of millisecond pulsars has long been used as an exquisitely precise tool for testing the building blocks of general relativity, including the strong equivalence principle and Lorentz symmetry. Observations of binary systems involving at least one millisecond pulsar have been used to place bounds on the parameters of Einstein-{\ae}ther theory, a gravitational theory that violates Lorentz symmetry at low energies via a preferred and dynamical time threading of the spacetime manifold. However, these studies did not cover the region of parameter space that is still viable after the recent bounds on the speed of gravitational waves from GW170817/GRB170817A. The restricted coverage was due to limitations in the methods used to compute the pulsar sensitivities, which parameterize violations of the strong-equivalence principle in these systems. We extend here the calculation of pulsar sensitivities to the parameter space of Einstein-{\ae}ther theory that remains viable after GW170817/GRB170817A. We show that observations of the damping of the period of quasi-circular binary pulsars and of the triple system PSR J0337+1715 further constrain the viable parameter space by about an order of magnitude over previous constraints.

Compact binary systems in Einstein-{\AE}ther gravity. II. Radiation reaction to 2.5 post-Newtonian order
The paper derives radiative equations of motion for Einstein-Aether compact binaries to 2.5PN order and reports energy-loss rates that contradict earlier flux-based calculations, with the dipole rate depending only on...

Constraining superluminal Einstein-\AE{}ther gravity through gravitational memory
Tensor displacement memory in Einstein-Aether gravity diverges at a critical angle when aether scalar or vector waves travel faster than tensor gravitational waves, motivating a conjecture excluding superluminal Einst...

Gravitational Memory in Generalized Proca Gravity
The displacement memory formula for Generalized Proca gravity is derived for a massive Lorentz-invariant branch and a massless Lorentz-violating branch, with the dispersive branch requiring a frequency-integrated treatment.

Slowly Rotating Neutron Stars in Aether Scalar-Tensor Theory
In Aether Scalar-Tensor theory, slowly rotating neutron stars obey approximate universal moment-of-inertia versus compactness relations that deviate from general relativity and are fit with parameter-dependent formulae.

Better early than never: A new test for superluminal gravitational wave polarizations
A backward search in time from known gravitational wave detections could detect or constrain superluminal non-tensor polarizations, and the authors argue this is feasible with current detectors.

Hodge Dual Gauge Symmetry in Minimal Einstein-Aether Theory
The minimal Einstein-aether vector field is the Hodge dual of a 3-form gauge field, making the two theories equivalent and showing that divergence-free aether fields are physically trivial.

Gravitational radiations from periodic orbits around Einstein-\AE{}ther black holes
The authors present periodic orbits and quadrupole gravitational waveforms for a test mass around two Einstein-Æther black hole solutions, and claim observable æther-induced waveform changes.
