Scientific paper

An analysis of a binary stellar system is made in terms of arrival-time data. This is the form which pertains most directly to systems in which one star pulses with an accurately known period, as is the case with the recently discovered binary pulsar and the pulsed binary X-ray sources. Measurement of differences of order 100 microsec in time of arrival across the orbit might in principle serve to determine both masses and the inclination angle in the case of the binary pulsar, independent of the rotation of the periastron. Measurement to less than about 1 msec could serve to determine the mass of the primary in Cen X-3.
