We consider a binary system composed of a pulsar and a massive, fast
rotating, highly distorted main sequence star as a potential scenario to
dynamically put to the test certain post-Keplerian effects of both Newtonian
and post-Newtonian nature. We numerically produce time series of the
perturbations of the R{\o}mer-like, orbital
component of the pulsar’s time delay induced over 10 years by the
pN gravitoelectric mass monopole, quadrupole, gravitomagnetic spin dipole and
octupole accelerations along with the Newtonian quadrupolar one. We do not deal
with the various propagation time delays due to the travelling electromagnetic
waves. It turns out that, for a Be-type star with ,
, , $S = 3.41\times
10^{45}\ \ J_2 = 1.92\times 10^{-3}$ orbited by a
pulsar with an orbital period , the
classical oblateness-driven effects are at the
level, while the pN shifts are of the order of $\lesssim 1.5-20\
\left(GMc^{-2}\right)\lesssim 10-40\ \ \left(GMR^2_
J_2 c^{-2}\right)\lesssim 0.5 - 6\ \ \left(GSc^{-2}\right)\lesssim 5 - 20\ \mu\ \left(GSR^2_ \varepsilon^2
c^{-2}\right)$, depending on their orbital configuration. The root-mean-square
(rms) timing residuals of almost all the existing non-recycled,
non-millisecond pulsars orbiting massive, fast rotating main sequence stars are
. Thus, such kind of binaries have the potential to become
interesting laboratories to measure, or, at least, constrain, some Newtonian
and post-Newtonian key features of the distorted gravitational fields of the
fast rotating stars hosted by them [Abridged].
