Abstract
In addition, pulsar B shows orbital modulations of intensity, being especially bright at two short orbital phases. We showed that these modulations are due to distortion of pulsar B magnetosphere by pulsar A wind which produces orbital phase-dependent changes of the direction along which radio waves are emitted. Thus, pulsar B is intrinsically bright at all times but its radiation beam misses the Earth at most orbital phases.
