Arrival-time analysis for a pulsar in a binary system.

Blandford, R., Teukolsky, S. A.·1976·The Astrophysical Journal

Abstract

A method is described for analyzing the arrival times of pulses from the binary pulsar PSR 1913+16, in terms of the orbital elements and their possible secular variations. Estimates are given for the times necessary to measure such secular changes and to detect various relativistic effects. If measurement errors 1 ms are the dominant source of error and 1000 independent observations are made per year, then 5 years of observations are necessary for a dynamical determination of the component masses accurate to 10 percent and 15 years for the possible detection of gravitational radiation. Other sources of error are briefly discussed. Subject headings: pulsars - stars: binaries

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
