TL;DR Summary

Astronomers are using the data from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) to search for millisecond pulsars near the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Pulsars are fast-rotating neutron stars that emit regular radio pulses, making them useful for testing the nature of gravity. While the initial analysis of the EHT data did not find evidence of pulsars, more data is yet to be examined, and it is believed that pulsars are likely present in the region.
