Optical observations of PSR1706-44 with the test camera of the VLT-UT1.

Abstract (from CDS):

We report on the optical observations of the γ-ray pulsar PSR1706-44 performed with the Test Camera of the VLT-UT1 during the telescope Science Verification programme. With a limiting magnitude of V∼27.5, these are the deepest optical observations ever performed for this pulsar, for which, however, no likely counterpart has been detected. The non-detection of PSR1706-44 sets an upper limit on its optical luminosity varying from ≃2x1028 to ≃5x1029erg/s. depending on the exact amount of interstellar absorption.
