Abstract

Description

We present Arecibo observations of PSR B1534+12 which confirm previous suggestions that the pulse profile is evolving secularly. This effect is similar to that seen in PSR B1913+16, and is almost certainly due to general relativistic precession of the pulsar's spin axis.
4 pages, 2 figures. Corrected a reference. To appear in proceedings of IAU Colloquium 177: Pulsar Astronomy - 2000 and Beyond
