Detection of relativistic orbital deformation from improved timing of PSR J1757−1854

Abstract PSR J1757−1854, a 21.5 ms pulsar is a member of a highly relativistic double neutron star (DNS) system with a tight (4.4 hr), eccentric (e = 0.61) orbit. With extremely large gravitational wave luminosity and one of the fastest orbital decay rates of any known DNS system...
