Evaluation of the possibility of using a new binary system containing a pulsar to study the structure of compact bodies located in intense gravitational fields. If it can be verified that a new pulsating radio source belonging to a binary system is really a pulsar and if it can be verified that the companion of this object is a compact star, then this object can serve as an excellent tool for studying the structure of compact bodies of the above-mentioned type. Particular importance is attached to an experiment which seeks to measure the precession of the intrinsic kinetic moment of the pulsar induced by spin-orbit coupling, since this effect is of very great interest not only for verifying general relativity but also for understanding the structure of neutron stars.
