Orbital variation in the double pulsar system PSR J0737-3039A/B can be used to probe the details of magnetospheric structure of the pulsar B. Strongly magnetized wind from pulsar A distorts the magnetosphere of the pulsar B in a way similar to the solar wind's distortion of the Earth's magnetosphere. Using the two complimentary models of the pulsar B magnetosphere, adapted from the Earth's magnetosphere models due to Dungey and Tsyganenko. We determine the precise location of the coherent radio emission generation region in the pulsar B magnetosphere. This analysis is complemented by modeling the observed evolution of the pulse profiles of B due to geodetic precession. The emission region is located at about 1700 stellar radii and has a horse-shoe like shape centered on the polar magnetic field line. We discuss the implications of these results to the pulsar magnetospheric models and mechanisms of coherent radio emission generation.
