Scientific paper

The paper discusses the discrepancy between the measured decrease in the derivative of the orbit period of the PSR 1913 plus 16 binary system and the decrease predicted by general relativity, and shows that it is possible to explain the discrepancy in terms of dynamical friction caused on the system by a diffuse gas cloud. Attention is given to exhibiting a correlation between timing measurements and the detection of X-rays and utilizing the Einstein satellite. It is also suggested that if measurements of X-rays and of the derivative of the orbit period are in agreement with the authors' theory, there is little doubt that the companion is a neutron star and that the decrease in binary period is caused by the emission of gravitational radiation
