Constraints on the masses of the pulsar and the companion as a function of five post-Keplerian measurables, within the context of General Relativity. The width of each curve represents ±1σ error bounds. The mutual near-intersection of all curves illustrates the agreement of our observations with general relativity in the strong-field conditions at the binary system.
