Description:
We searched the IRAS database at the positions of pulsars to see if they are associated with FIR sources, as might be expected if some pulsars possess preplanetary disks. There are 13 IRAS sources from the Point Source Catalog within 1 arcmin of nearly 500 radio pulsars. While this does not represent an enhancement over the number of chance coincidences, we argue that several are in fact associated with pulsars.
