Pulsars, Observations, and Timing

2 Pulsars, Observations, and Timing

The properties and demographics of pulsars, as well as pulsar search and timing techniques, are thoroughly covered in the article by Lorimer in this series [88 ]. This section will present only an overview of the topics most important to understanding the application of pulsar observations to tests of GR.

2.1 Pulsar properties
2.2 Pulsar observations
2.3 Pulsar timing
2.3.1 Basic transformation
2.3.2 Binary pulsars
