Russell Alan Hulse (born November 28, 1950) is an American (A native or inhabitant of the United States) physicist (A scientist trained in physics) and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics (additional info and facts about Nobel Prize in Physics), shared with his thesis advisor Joseph Hooton Taylor Jr.
In 1974, Hulse and Taylor discover binary pulsar PSR 1913+16 which is made up of a pulsar and fl companion star ((astronomy) a celestial body of hot gases that radiates energy derived from thermonuclear reactions in the interior).
The Prize given to Taylor and Hulse was the first ever given for work in General Relativity (A generalization of special relativity to include gravity (based on the principle of equivalence)) (Gravity waves ((physics) a wave that is hypothesized to propagate gravity and to travel at the speed of light)).

 Hulse, Russell Alan
Hulse studied at Cooper Union College in New York City (B.S., 1970) and earned a Ph.D. degree in physics (1975) from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where he was a graduate student under Taylor.
Irregularities in the radio emissions of the pulsar PSR 1913 + 16 led them to deduce that the pulsar had a companion neutron star with which it was locked in a tight orbit.
This finding, as reported by Taylor and Hulse in 1978, afforded the first experimental evidence for the existence of the gravitational waves predicted by Albert Einstein in his general theory of relativity.

In 1993, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Russell Hulse and Joseph Taylor of Princeton University for their 1974 discovery of a pulsar, designated PSR1913+16, in a binary system, in orbit with another star around a common center of mass.
Hulse and Taylor used their timing measurements of the pulses to infer the details of the orbital motion.

 Joseph Hooton Taylor, Jr. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1974, Hulse and Taylor discovered the first pulsar in a binary system, named PSR B1913+16 after its position in the sky, during a survey for pulsars at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico.
Although it was not understood at the time, this was also the first of what are now called recycled pulsars: neutron stars that have been spun-up to fast spin rates by the transfer of mass onto their surfaces from a companion star.
He and Hulse shared the Nobel Prize for the discovery of this object.

Hulse won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the first binary pulsar –; a twin star system that provides a rare natural laboratory in which to test Albert Einstein’s prediction that moving objects emit gravitational waves, as well as other aspects of his general theory of relativity.
The discovery was made in 1974 by Hulse, a 23-year-old graduate student at the time, and his thesis advisor, Dr. Joseph Taylor Jr., then a professor at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, utilizing the 1,000-foot radio telescope at Arecibo, Puerto Rico.
