Ah, I just realized i can't add angular velocity to regular velocity. I came up with this: P_{obs}=(\frac{c-vsin\theta}{c})\cdot P_0 w/ c the speed of light in a vacuum. Does that seem correct?

Hey all, new to the forum. Had a tough question that I was trying to work out about an orbiting pulsar and the doppler shifted pulse period. So, if we have a pulsar orbiting some central object in circular orbit, with a constant orbital velocity v, and a pulse period of P_0, how can we write...
