A search for infrared pulsations from PSR 1951 + 32
نویسنده
چکیده
Observations have been conducted on the recently discovered short period pulsar PSR 1951+32 in the radio nebula CTB 80 in an attempt to detect pulsed infrared emission. A strong upper limit is placed on any pulsed, infrared component below that expected from a formally proposed optical candidate for the pulsar. This limit is consistent with proposed scaling laws for high-energy emission.

A Search for the Optical Counterpart of PSR B 1951 + 32 in the Supernova Remnant CTB 80 ⋆
Using time-resolved two-dimensional aperture photometry we have put upper limits on the pulsed emission from two proposed optical counterparts for PSR B1951+32. Our pulsed upper limits of mv,pulsed > 23.3, mb,pulsed > 24.4, for the first candidate and mv,pulsed > 23.6, mb,pulsed > 24.3 for the second, make it unlikely that either of these is, in fact, the pulsar. We discuss three further candid...
متن کاملA Search for Optical Pulsations from Two Young Southern Pulsars
We report on high-speed optical photometry of the radio positions of two young rotation-powered pulsars. No pulsations were detected from the optical counterpart proposed by Caraveo et al. (1994) for PSR B1509–58, with a 2σ upper limit on the pulsed fraction of < 12%, significantly lower than that measured in the five known optical pulsars. Given its low pulsed fraction, high optical luminosity...
متن کامل6 v 1 2 F eb 1 99 7 RXTE Observation of PSR B 1951 + 32
We report results of RXTE observations of PSR B1951+32 using the PCA instrument for 19k seconds during 1996 March 24th. We applied the contemporaneous radio ephemeris and various statistical tests to search for evidence of pulsation. These analyses yield intriguing yet inconclusive evidence for the presence of the pulsation in the time series: confidence level for the presence of pulsation is 9...
متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Observations of the Pulsar PSR B1951+32 with the Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment
We present the analysis and results of 12.5 hours of high-energy gamma-ray observations of the EGRET-detected pulsar PSR B1951+32 using the Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment (STACEE). STACEE is an atmospheric Cherenkov detector, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, that detects cosmic gamma rays using the shower-front-sampling technique. STACEE’s sensitivity to astrophysical sources at...
متن کاملX-Ray/Gamma-Ray Observations of the PSR B1259−63/SS 2883 system near Apastron
We report the results from X-ray and hard X-ray observations of the PSR B1259−63/SS 2883 system with the ASCA and CGRO satellites, performed between 1995 February and 1996 January when the pulsar was near apastron. The system was clearly detected in each of the two ASCA observations with luminosity in the 1–10 keV band of LX = (9 ± 3) × 10 32 (d/2 kpc) erg s, while CGRO/OSSE did not detect sign...
