Properties of the Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar system.
Abstract
Various elementary calculations are summarized concerning the close-binary-system pulsar PSR 1913+16, discovered by Hulse and Taylor. The results are approximate and indicate only the relative importance of various relativistic and nonrelativistic effects.
