A binary star system where one of the stars is a pulsar
American astronomers Russell Hulse and Joseph H. Taylor, Jr., used Arecibo to discover the first binary pulsar.
A paper in The Astrophysical Journal describes the recent discovery of a binary pulsar by Einstein@home.
Astronomers had strong indirect evidence for gravitational waves from the measurements of a binary pulsar system between 1970 to 1990.
With its enormous interacting gravitational fields, the binary pulsar should emit such waves, and the resulting energy drain should reduce the orbital distance between the two stars.
Taylor and Hulse hammered these views home with their discovery and timing of the spectacular "binary pulsar" in the 1970s and 1980s.
We report on a long X-ray observation of the the slow-rotating binary pulsar GX 1+4.
Nobel Lecture: "Binary Pulsars and Relativistic Gravity," Taylor, J. H., Rev. Mod.
The X-ray telescopes on board BeppoSAX are an optimal set of instruments to observe bright galactic binary pulsars.
These include thermally-emitting recycled pulsars that may provide stringent constraints on the elusive neutron star equation of state, and so-called "redback" binary pulsars, which seem to sporadically revert to an X-ray binary-like state.
Binary pulsars may be divided into several distinct groups depending on their observed properties such as pulsar period and age, binary period, eccentricity and companion mass.
In the following years, Taylor continued making careful measurements of the orbital period of PSR 1913 + 16, and his research group went on to discover several other binary pulsars.
