Abstract
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 candidates, but also reject
these on the basis of timing results. A search of a 5.""5 × 5.""5
area centred close to these stars failed to find any significant
pulsations at the reported pulsar period.
