Scientific paper

The accurate optical identification of the millisecond pulsar B1620-26 in the globular cluster M4 (NGC6121) is crucial for determining the nature of this unique hierarchical triple system. Ground based imaging has revealed a potential condidate, which may well be blended and/or a chance superposition. We propose a short WF/PC II observation which will unambiguously demonstrate whether an optical counterpart exists, and if so, determine its magnitude and color. The results will be of great interest both for issues relating to the origin of pulsars, and in terms of dynamical processes in globular clusters.
