Description
Scalarization is a very interesting nonlinear mechanism for developing of nontrivial scalar field that can have well pronounced observational signatures. If the scalar field is massive, the strong constraints on the theory coming from the binary pulsar observations, can be easily circumvented thus leading to large deviations from general relativity. In the talk we will discuss the astrophysical implications of such scalarized neutron stars, focusing on the electromagnetic and gravitational wave observations, as well as on certain universal relations.
