Figure 8: Mass–mass diagram for the PSR B1534+12 system. Labeled curves illustrate 68% confidence ranges of the DD parameters listed in Table 3. The filled circle indicates the component masses according to the DDGR solution. The kinematic correction for assumed distance d = 0.7 ± 0.2 kpc has been subtracted from the observed value of P˙ b; the uncertainty on this kinematic correction dominates the uncertainty of this curve. A slightly larger distance removes the small apparent discrepancy between the observed and predicted values of this parameter. (After [125].)
