Description

The spin precession of each component of a two-body system is calculated by means of the parametrized post-Newtonian approximation to metric theories of gravity without preferred frame effects. This calculation is carried out in view of an application to the recently discovered binary pulsar PSR 1913 + 16. (orig./BJ)

Abstract (German)

Die Spinpraezession beider Komponenten eines Zweikoerpersystems wird mit Hilfe der parametrisierten nach-Newtonschen Naeherung an metrische Gravitationstheorien ohne bevorzugte Rahmeneffekte berechnet. Diese Berechnung wird unter dem Aspekt einer Anwendung auf den vor kurzem entdeckten binaeren Pulsar PSR 1913 + 16 durchgefuehrt. (orig./AK)
