Scientific paper

An image of the region of the binary pulsar PSR1913+16 obtained with the Planetary Camera on board the Hubble Space Telescope is presented and discussed. The image clearly shows the object previously thought to be coincident with the radio timing position of the pulsar. The astrometric solution confirms the positional coincidence. The object appears slightly elongated in both of the images obtained. If this object is indeed associated with the binary pulsar, then the clean interpretation of the timing data as evidence for gravitational radiation may be in doubt.
