Abstract

An analysis of monitoring observations for the pulsar PSR B0655+64, which is located in a binary system, at 111 MHz during 2002–2015 are presented. The Keplerian parameters of the pulsar have been refived: the longitude of periastron ω = 276. °5785 ± 0. °0005 and the orbital semi-major axis is a p sin i = 4.124976± 0.000003 s. The parameters of the perturbed motion have been determined: the motion of periastron ω = 0. °315 ± 0. °005/ year, and the derivative of the period of the binary system = (-1.66 ± 0.11) × 10-14 s/s = (-0.524 ± 0.038) µs/year. The estimated time scale for the decay of the PSR 0655+64 system is (1.7 ± 0.1) × 1011 yrs.
