Scientific paper

The result of a search for the gravitational radiation from the Crab pulsar, at 60.2 Hz, is presented. A 400-kg aluminum quadrupole antenna, with a loaded quality factor of 4500 is thermally tuned tracking the pulsar frequency. Correlating the 420 h of recorded antenna output with the timing of the optical pulses, an upper limit of 14 W per sq m is obtained for the energy flux of the gravitational radiation.
