Except in cosmology, astrophysicists are used to thinking of general relativistic effects as small (e.g., light bending, perihelion advance, red shift) and have generally left such problems to general relativists. However, the discovery of pulsars (Hewish et al., 1968) may have changed this. Not only is general relativity necessary to treat rotating neutron stars, but relativity was also partly responsible for the elimination of pulsating white dwarfs as pulsar models.
