Phys. Rev. D 75, 023001 (2007) [5 pages]Limits on neutron Lorentz violation from pulsar timingReceived 16 August 2006; published 2 January 2007 Pulsars are the most accurate naturally occurring clocks, and data about them can be used to set bounds on neutron-sector Lorentz violations. If SO(3) rotation symmetry is completely broken for neutrons, then pulsars’ rotation speeds will vary periodically. Pulsar timing data limits the relevant Lorentz-violating coefficients to be smaller than 1.7×10-8 at at least 90% confidence. © 2007 The American Physical Society URL:
