| More Details: | The orbital period loss of the compact binary systems is the first indirect evidence of gravitational waves which agrees well with Einstein's general theory of relativity to a very good accuracy. However, there is less than one percent uncertainty in the measurement of orbital period loss from the general reltivistic prediction. Perihelion precession of planets, Gravitational light bending and Shapiro delay are three other successful tests of general relativity theory. Though there are uncertainties in the measurements of those observations from the general reltivistic predictions as well. To resolve these uncertainties, we assume radiation of ultralight axions and light gauge boson particles of $L_i-L_j$ type from those systems which can be a possible candidate of fuzzy dark matter. In this article, we obtain bounds on new physics parameters from those astrophysical observations.
