Geodetic Precession in PSR B1534+12

arXiv:astro-ph/9911198

Abstract

We present Arecibo observations of PSR B1534+12 which confirm previous suggestions that the pulse profile is evolving secularly. This effect is similar to that seen in PSR B1913+16, and is almost certainly due to general relativistic precession of the pulsar's spin axis.
