Observations of Two Eclipsing Millisecond Pulsar Binary Systems in Globular

Clusters
ABSTRACT:
The precise mechanism that drives eclipsing millisecond pulsar systems is not yet certain, although various eclipse mo dels exist that do seem to supp ort many observations. The recently discovered globular cluster eclipsing pulsar systems J1518+0204C (M5C) and J1953+1846A (M71A) provide an excellent opp ortunity to examine the characteristics of such systems. In particular, we wish to test several predictions made by prominent mo dels describing eclipse b ehaviour. These include the dep endence of eclipse duration on observing frequency, the lack of eclipses at high frequencies, and the orbital-phase-dep endent variations in linear p olarization. Investigation of the M5C and M71A systems at Arecib o will allow us to further constrain mo dels of eclipse b ehaviour in these low-mass systems.
