Magnetospheric Eclipses in the Double‐Pulsar System PSR J0737−3039

Magnetospheric Eclipses in the Double‐Pulsar System PSR J0737−3039

We argue that eclipses of radio emission from the millisecond pulsar A in the double-pulsar system PSR J0737-3039 are due to synchrotron absorption by plasma in the closed field line region of the magnetosphere of its normal pulsar companion B. On the basis of a plausible geometric model, pulsar A's …
