PSR B1534+12: Campaign Observations

Our observations of the the double-neutron-star binary PSR B1534+12 have recently resulted in a new and unique test of the geo detic precession rate prediction of General Relativity. We now request a session of 14 consecutive observing days, from 1345 to 1700 LST, for observations of this pulsar at 327, 430 and 1400 MHz, including daily continuum-source calibration. During this time, we also request three transits of PSR B1929+10, from 1800 to 2045, for the purp ose of p olarization calibration. This prop osal has the imp ortant dual goals of obtaining high-quality timing data with which to refine the orbital parameters, and collecting high signal-to-noise profiles to refine our measurement of the rate of geo detic precession.
