Interpretation of Binary Pulsar Observations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
The nature, dynamics and evolution of the three known radio pulsar binaries are discussed. The system containing 1913+16 appears to comprise two ~1.4 M⊙ components, and to undergo orbital decay as predicted by general relativity. It is proposed that 1913+16 has a neutron star companion and that 0655+64 and 0820+02 have white dwarf companions which should be observable optically.
