Recent Observations of PSR B1534+12
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 May 2016
Abstract
We present the results of recent Arecibo observations of the relativistic double-neutron-star binary PSR B1534+12. The timing solution includes measurements of five post-Keplerian orbital parameters, whose values agree well with the predictions of general relativity. The observations show that the pulse profile is evolving secularly at both 1400 MHz and 430 MHz. This effect is similar to that seen in PSR B1913+16, and is almost certainly due to general relativistic precession of the pulsar's spin axis. We also present high-quality polarimetric profiles at both observing frequencies.
