Extract

The pulsar 0833-45 associated with the Vela supernova remnant has been known as a strong source with fairly constant pulse amplitude since its discovery (Large, Vaughan & Mills 1968) using the east-west arm of the Molonglo telescope. The pulse stability together with the short period of 89 ms allowed its integrated flux to be seen also as a 1.7 Jy point source with the pencil beam of the full Cross, and a more precise declination was obtained. Further observations in 1971/72 with a beat period integrator used on the fan beams of the north-south arm showed that the pulsed radiation had the same declination as the point source within 2 arcsec (Vaughan & McAdam 1973). Monitoring observations in 1975/76 gave an independent position, and the mean of all Molonglo (408 MHz), Fleurs (1415 MHz) and NRAO interferometer (2700 MHz) positions led to the optical detection of the pulsar (Goss et al. 1977). The point source, therefore, is reliably identified with the pulsar.
