Abstract
Pulsars can be either isolated or binary (or even in triple) systems. Observational features of pulsars are used to probe various aspects of fundamental physics, including emission mechanism, gravitational physics, etc. Theoretical models of various phenomena need different coordinate frames. Often different physical processes affect each other and we need to use multiple coordinate frames and relations between those. This short review presents an extensive set of coordinate frames and relations between those.Keywords
