Pulsar timing has enabled some of the strongest tests of fundamental physics. Central to the technique is the assumption that the detected radio pulses can be used to accurately measure the rotation of the pulsar. Here we report on a…

The apsidal motion of a non-synchronous binary pulsar serves as a valuable probe of relativistic gravity, stellar stricture, and dynamical evolution of close binary systems, In this study, we investigate the combined influence of general…

The radio and gamma-ray pulsar PSR J2032+4127 was recently found to be in a decades-long orbit with the Be star MT91 213, with the pulsar moving rapidly towards periastron. This binary shares many similar characteristics with the previously…

The recently started Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFA) pulsar survey aims to find ~1000 new pulsars. Due to its high time and frequency resolution the survey is especially sensitive to millisecond pulsars, which have the potential to test…

We report the detection of a new 3.06 ms binary pulsar in the globular cluster NGC6544 using a Fourier-domain ``acceleration'' search. With an implied companion mass of ~0.01 solar masses and an orbital period of only P_b~1.7 hours, it…

We study the effect of pulsar rotation on timing of binary pulsars, with particular emphasis on the double pulsar system J0737-3039. Special relativistic aberration due to the orbital motion of pulsar changes both the longitude and…

We present a new theoretical analysis of the PSR B1620-26 triple system in the globular cluster M4, based on the latest radio pulsar timing data, which now include measurements of five time derivatives of the pulse frequency. These data…

The first eclipsing binary pulsar, PSR B1957+20, was discovered in 1987. Since then, 13 other eclipsing low-mass binary pulsars have been found, 12 of these are in globular clusters. In this paper we list the known eclipsing binary pulsars…

We have conducted timing observations of the eclipsing millisecond binary pulsar PSR~B1957+20, extending the span of data on this pulsar to more than five years. During this time the orbital period of the system has varied by roughly…

Some of the theoretical challenges posed by the general relativistic description of binary systems of compact objects (neutron stars or black holes) are reviewed. We recall the various ways one can use the theory of the motion, and of the…

We present the results of extensive time series photometry of the pulsating subdwarf B star KPD 2109+4401. Our data set consists of 29 data runs with a total length of 182.6 hours over 31 days, collected at five observatories in 2004. These…

We report the discovery and initial timing observations of a 55.7-ms pulsar, J0609+2130, found during a 430-MHz drift-scan survey with the Arecibo radio telescope. With a spin-down rate of $3.1 \times 10^{-19}$ s s$^{-1}$ and an inferred…

(abridged) PSR J1903+0327, a millisecond pulsar in an eccentric (e = 0.44) 95-day orbit with a (~ 1Msun) companion poses a challenge to our understanding of stellar evolution in binary and multiple-star systems. Here we describe optical and…

Sensitive Arecibo observations provide an unprecedented ability to detect nulls for an accurate pulse-modulation quelling (PMQ) analysis. We demonstrate that a number of conal pulsars show "periodic nulling" similar to the phenomenon found…

We study the gravitational Faraday rotation, on linearly polarized light rays emitted by a pulsar, orbiting another compact object. We relate the rotation angle to the orbital phase of the emitting pulsar, as well as to other parameters…

In binary radio pulsar system J0737-3039, slow pulsar B shows orbital modulations of intensity, being especially bright at two short orbital phases. We propose that these modulations are due to distortion of pulsar B magnetosphere by pulsar…

We report on the discovery of X-ray pulsations from the Be/X-ray system LS 992/RX J0812.4-3114 during an RXTE observation. From a timing analysis of the source we obtained a barycentric pulse period of 31.8851 \pm 0.0004 s. The pulse…

The following results of dissertation are submitted for defense: 1. Precise measurements of coordinates and proper motion of the pulsar PSR 0329+54 using the VLBI method. 2. Establishing of the reason for the discrepancy between the…

Pulsars, the cosmic lighthouses, are strongly self-gravitating objects with core densities significantly exceeding nuclear density. Since the discovery of the Hulse--Taylor pulsar 50 years ago, binary pulsar studies have delivered numerous…

Determination of pulsar parallaxes and proper motions addresses fundamental astrophysical questions. We have recently finished a VLBI astrometry project to determine the proper motions and parallaxes of 27 pulsars, thereby doubling the…
