[hal-01077093] The Gravitational Mass of the Millisecond Pulsars

In this work it is theoretically shown that a millisecond pulsar spinning with angular velocity close to 1000 rotations per second or more has its gravitational mass reduced below its inertial mass ie under these circumstances the gravitational and the inertial masses of the millisecond pulsar are not equivalents This can easily be experimentally checked and it would seem to be an ideal test to the equivalence principle of general relativity
