We discuss here the problems connected with radio pulsars in close binary systems, which have an anomalously small magnetic field and rotate very rapidly. The first discovered Hulse–Taylor binary pulsar permitted us to make the indirect discovery of gravitational waves. Later single recycled pulsars (RPs) that had been in binaries before the disruption of the pairs were found. The mechanism of the pair disruption and the formation of a single RP is considered on the basis of the mechanism of…

Gravitomagnetism: a novel explanation of the precession of planets and binary pulsars
We have studied the consequences of applying gravitomagnetism to gravitating objects. Gravitomagnetism was the missing part of the Newton’s law of gravitation. This phenomenon is manifest in the…

PHYSICS OF OUR DAYS: Binary and recycled pulsars: 30 years after observational discovery
Binary radio pulsars, first discovered by Hulse and Taylor in 1974 [1], are a unique tool for experimentally testing general relativity (GR), whose validity has been confirmed with a precision…
Pulsar timing and relativistic gravity
Measurements of the times of arrival of pulsar signals at Earth provide uniquely powerful tools for experiments in relativistic gravity. The results of such experiments improve rapidly as the span of…
A Double-Pulsar System: A Rare Laboratory for Relativistic Gravity and Plasma Physics
TLDR
The detection of the 2.8-second pulsar J0737–3039B as the companion to the 23-millisecond pulsars in a highly relativistic double neutron star system, allowing unprecedented tests of fundamental gravitational physics.
Checking the variability of the gravitational constant with binary pulsars
The most precise measurements are obtained at present by timing of radiopulsars in binary systems with two neutron stars. The timing measurements of the Taylor–Hulse pulsar B1913+16 gave the most…
Further observations of the binary pulsar PSR 1913+16.
We report the results of more than a year's timing observations of the binary pulsar PSR 1913+16. Within the accuracy of our measurements, about +- 300 ..mu..s, the pulse arrival times are exactly…
Pulsars and Close Binary Systems
It is first considered what must happen if pulsars (i.e. neutron stars) are formed in close binary systems (CBS), and whether the resulting orbital motion and mass transfer should be observable. As…
Pulsar Astrometry at the Microarcsecond Level
Determination of pulsar parallaxes and proper motions addresses fundamental astrophysical questions. We have recently finished a VLBI astrometry project to determine the proper motions and parallaxes…
Theory of Neutron Star Magnetospheres
The theory of neutron star magnetospheres is presented with reference to the most important observational data on neutron stars available to date. In particular, attention is given to the nature of…
The 35 Day Evolution of the Hercules X-1 Pulse Profile: Evidence for a Resolved Inner Disk Occultation of the Neutron Star
Ginga and Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer observations have allowed an unprecedented view of the recurrent systematic pulse shape changes associated with the 35 day cycle of Hercules X-1, a phenomenon…
Discovery of a pulsar in a binary system
The newly discovered pulsar PSR 1913 + 16, which has a period of approximately 0/sup 5/.059 and which undergoes periodic Doppler shifts, indicating that it is a member of a binary system, is…
