Mapping Wide Binaries using Pulsation Timing Variations

Shishir Dholakia has been doing something exciting: using TESS light curves to accurately map the orbits of widely separated binaries. His secret? Pulsation Timing Variations, caused by the speed-of-light delay as each component swings through space. Join us on the cutting edge of research as Shishir offers an inside view into this novel project!
