Scientific paper

Applications of the theory of general relativity to the study of the binary pulsar PSR 1913 plus 16 are discussed. Since the pulsar is located in a region free of plasma and particulate matter, it is suggested that measures of the physical parameters associated with the orbital and gravitational characteristics of the body may provide a test for relativistic effects. In particular, measurements of the shift in periastron are mentioned. Alternative explanations of the gravitational effects observed in the pulsar, including treatments developed by Lightman and Lee (1973) and Will and Eardley (1977) are also considered.
