Notes on Informal Theoretical Discussion of PSR J0737-3039

摘要

In the hope of eliciting exciting discussions of the new double pulsar binary PSR J0737- 3039, we encouraged the speakers in the four-hour (ski-sacrificing) special Wednesday afternoon session to make predictions that can be tested in the near future by the observational community. This document in my attempt to capture the essence of all of the informal presentations. I am sure there are errors in here, but so it goes. Not all participants made a, testable prediction. Clear predictions are noted here in boldface.
