Brief description
This project is to continue timing and profile studies of the first double-pulsar system, a unique laboratory for gravitational physics. The main aims of this proposal are to provide the strongest tests to date for general relativity and to measure for the first time the moment-of-inertia of a neutron star. Additionally, we will determine the system geometry and map the pulsar beams via geodetic precession.Available: 2013-08-06
