Scientific paper

R-band observations of the Crab pulsar with the 6-m telescope at 6-microsec resolution yield an averaged light curve in which temporal fine structure is absent. For time scales of order 10 microsecs, upper limits on the modulation depth are 10 percent for the main pulse and 15 percent for the interpulse. Both peaks are flattened, with characteristic widths (at 0.97 maximum intensity) of roughly 100 and 400 microsecs, respectively.
