Scientific paper

We request 9 regularly-spaced epochs to carry out high-precision timing and polarimetry of PSR~J1906+0746, a new relativistic binary pulsar discovered in the PALFA survey. It is currently unclear whether the companion star to this young 144-ms pulsar is a white dwarf or another neutron star. The proposed observations would measure at least two further post-Keplerian parameters and determine the mass and inclination of the system. In addition, they would allow us to measure the significant profile variations expected due to relativistic spin-orbit coupling. Given the exciting possibility of a second neutron star in this system, we shall also use these observations carry out searches for pulsations from the companion.
