Pulsar-White Dwarf Binary System Confirms General Relativistic Frame-Dragging (3 of 4)

image: Lense-Thirring frame dragging resulting from a rotating white dwarf in the PSR J1141-6545 binary star system. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the 31 Jan. issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by V. Venkatraman Krishnan at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, VIC, Australia, and colleagues was titled, "Lense-Thirring frame dragging induced by a fast-rotating white dwarf in a binary pulsar system." view more
