Abstract
Two of the most singular characteristics of the pulsar NP 0532 are its short period (33 ms) and its association with a supernova remnant. This suggests that the next most promising candidate for detection of optical radiation from a pulsar is PSR 0833–45 (ref. 1), associated with the supernova remnant in Vela, which has a period of 89 ms.
