Scientific paper

Binary pulsars could help us probe into strong gravitational field situations. One of the relativistic effects that could manifest itself in observations of such pulsars is the precession of the pulsars' spin axis due to spin - orbit coupling. This paper derives an analytical formula for the precessional frequency of the spin of a test particle in a circular orbit around a nonrotating massive black hole, that is not restricted to weak field regions only. Approximate analytical and numerical solutions of the spin precession in case of other, noncircular, bound orbits have also been investigated. Finally the observational implications of such a precession are discussed.
