A '''binary pulsar''' is a [[pulsar]] rotating in orbit about a center of mass with one other companion, which is typically another pulsar, [[neutron star]], or [[white dwarf]].  The strong gravitational field is of interest to physicists, and numerous binary pulsars have been discovered in recent decades.<ref>http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/relativity/binpulstable.html</ref>

In 1974 Professors Taylor ahd Hulse discovered the first binary pulsar, [[PSR 1913+16|PSR 1913 16]], also known as the "Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar."
