# Signal delay analysis for binary pulsars

## TL;DR

This paper revises the analysis of radio signal delays in binary pulsars by emphasizing the importance of using a consistent coordinate frame for both signal transmission and pulsar motion.

## Contribution

It provides a correction to the standard delay analysis by aligning the coordinate frame used for signal transmission with that of the pulsar's motion.

## Key findings

- Corrected the delay pattern analysis for binary pulsars.
- Highlighted the importance of coordinate frame consistency.
- Improved accuracy in pulsar signal delay modeling.

## Abstract

This note gives a correction to the standard analysis of the delay pattern in the radio signals from a pulsar in a binary system; the same coordinate frame should be used for the transmission of the signal as for the motion of the pulsar in the field of its companion.
