Further Search for Nanosecond Structure in the Light Flashes from Pulsar NP 0532

Abstract

THE marginal evidence1,2 for high-energy γ-rays from the pulsar CP 1133, obtained with Čerenkov light receivers, may have been due to light arising in the object itself. Following the discovery3 of light pulses from NP 0532, there have been several attempts to detect fine structure in the light from this particular pulsar (refs. 4–6 and D. Hegyi, R. Novick and P. Thaddeus at the IAU symposium, No. 37, Rome, May 1969). This communication describes a further attempt to detect fine structure in the temporal distribution of light from NP 0532.
