Small-eccentricity binary pulsars and relativistic gravity
N. Wex
Small-eccentricity binary pulsars with white dwarf companions provide excellent test laboratories for various effects predicted by alternative theories of gravity, in particular te…
Geodetic Precession and the Binary Pulsar B1913+16
A. Karastergiou, M. Kramer, N. Wex +1
A change of the component separation in the profiles of the binary pulsar PSR B1913+16 has been observed for the first time (Kramer 1998) as expected by geodetic precession. In thi…
A 1400-MHz pilot search for young pulsars
D. R. Lorimer, M. Kramer, P. Mueller +4
We have used the Effelsberg 100-m radio telescope to conduct a 1400-MHz ( 21-cm) search for young and rapidly rotating radio pulsars along a 2 deg strip of the northern Gala…
Frame dragging in black hole-pulsar binaries
N. Wex
The discovery of frame-dragging effects in binary pulsar timing experiments requires a compact companion with sufficiently large spin. A pulsar orbiting a fast rotating black hole…
