Scientific paper

In spite of extensive efforts only two definite (Crab and Vela) and one probable (in SNR 0540-693) radio pulsars have been detected at optical wavelengths. Most efforts at modeling the optical emission mechanism are constrained only by the Crab Pulsar observations. To provide better model constraints, visual and ultraviolet observations of the Crab, Vela, and LMC pulsars will be obtained (see HSP 1101). The HSP recently acquired high time resolution data of the Crab pulsar in the visual. Before choosing the central wavelength and width of several ultraviolet filters, an exploratory observation of the Crab in a broad-band UV filter is necessary.
