Abstract

We present PERISTOLE to study the various time delays associated with the pulsar rotation and other general relativistic aspects of binary pulsars. It is made available as an open-source python package which takes some parameters of the double pulsar system as input and outputs the rotational and latitudinal lensing delays along with the geometric and Shapiro delays that arise due to gravitational lensing. This package was intended to provide a way to quickly analyse, evaluate and study the differences between variations of the same systems and also to quantify the consequences that different parameters have over the system. Through this research note, we briefly describe the motivation behind PERISTOLE and showcase its capabilities using the only double pulsar system ever found, J0737-3039.
