Abstract

A number of interesting celestial objects, including X-ray sources, nova and supernova remnants, white dwarfs, infrared stars, planetary nebulae, radio sources, and some other peculiar nebulosities have been searched with Fourier and correlation techniques for the presence of optical pulsars. The sensitivity of these methods was established with synthetic data and by observations of the Crab Nebula pulsar, the minimum detectable signal (5 standard deviations above noise) being approximately 20th visual magnitude, time averaged. To this limit no new pulsars were found over the range of periods searched from 5 msec to several seconds.
