Scientific paper

A systematic search for fast radio pulsars in the error boxes of the low energy γ-ray sources detected by the COS-B collaboration led to the discovery of a 6.1-ms radio pulsar PSR 1953+29 in a binary system with orbital period of 120±4 days inside the error box of 2CG 065+0. It was not possible to associate unambiguously the two objects without either a precise position for the γ-ray source or the detection of 6.1-ms pulsed γ rays. Following the determination of a more accurate orbital ephemeris for the radio pulsar, the authors have examined their data for evidence for pulsed TeV γ rays. They report the detection of such γ rays with the characteristic 6.1-ms periodicity of the radio pulsar.
