17 Mar 2005 | | Subject: | astro-ph gr-qc | | Affiliation: | University of Manchester, Jodrell Bank Observatory, UK), M.Burgay, N.D’Amico, A.Possenti (INAF - Osservatorio Astronomica di Cagliari, Italy) F.Camilo (Columbia Astrophysics Laboratory, Columbia University, USA), P.C.C.Freire (NAIC, Arecibo Obse | | Abstract: | This first ever double pulsar system consists of two pulsars orbiting the common center of mass in a slightly eccentric orbit of only 2.4-hr duration. The pair of pulsars with pulse periods of 22 ms and 2.8 sec, respectively, confirms the long-proposed recycling theory for millisecond pulsars and provides an exciting opportunity to study the works of pulsar magnetospheres by a very fortunate geometrical alignment of the orbit relative to our line-of-sight. In particular, this binary system represents a truly unique laboratory for relativistic gravitational physics. This contribution serves as an update on the currently obtained results and their consequences for the test of general relativity in the strong-field regime. A complete and more up-to-date report of the timing results will be presented elsewhere shortly. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0503386 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
