CCD images of the 6.1 ms pulsar field

Nature volume 306, pages 568–569 (1983)Cite this article

Abstract

In a study of the radio pulsar1 of period 6.13369 ms, the second shortest pulsar period known, we have obtained deep images Hof the field in different colour bands using the European Southern Observatory charge-coupled device camera at the 1.5 m Danish telescope at La Silla. At least three objects are visible inside the radio error box, and their astrometry and photometry are reported here.
