Er, can you characterize which post-Newtonian correction/s is or are of non-negligible order here for Milky-way millisecond pulsars? Where do they enter, if not extremely close to the pulsars themselves? I'm curious, because we use them to test, among other things, |\alpha_3| in the PPN formalism alpha-zeta notation. Along the way you necessarily get a very good characterization of the transforms available on local arrival times in different coordinate systems and can probe other PPN parameters. (cf. Kramer, sec 4 and 5.1 free version: http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0405178v2). More generally…
