The orientation and magnitude of the orbital precession velocity of a binary pulsar system with double spins

The measurability of the spin--orbit (S--L) coupling induced orbital effect is dependent on the orientation and magnitude of the orbital precession velocity, ${\bf Ω}_0$. This paper derives ${\bf Ω}_0$ in the case that both spins in the binary system contribute to the spin--orbit (S--L) coupling, which is suitable for the most popular binary pulsars, Neutron star--White Dwarf star (NS--WD) binaries (as well as for NS--NS binaries). This paper shows that from two constraints, the conservation of the total angular momentum and the triangle formed by the orbital angular momentum, ${\bf L}$, the sum the spin angular momenta of the two stars, ${\bf S}$, and the total angular momentum, ${\bf J}$, the orbital precession velocity, ${\bf Ω}_0$, along ${\bf J}$ is inevitable. Moreover, by the relation, $S/L\ll 1$, which is satisfied for a general binary pulsar, a significant ${\bf Ω}_0$ (in magnitude) is inevitable, 1.5 Post Newtonian order (PN). Which are similar to the case of one spin as discussed by many authors. However unlike the one spin case, the magnitude of the precession velocity of ${\bf Ω}_0$ varies significantly due to the variation of the sum the spin angular momenta of the two stars, ${\bf S}$, which can lead to significant secular variabilities in binary pulsars.
