Scientific paper

An optical pulsar with frequency f = 1,968,629 Hz has been detected at the location of supernova 1987A in the LMC. The brightness of the pulsed light increased from magnitude 19 to 18 during a 7-hr observation period starting on 18.1 January 1987 UT. The frequency of the pulsar during this same period varied in a nearly sinusoidal manner, with an amplitude of 1.5 x 10 to the -3rd Hz and a period of 8 hr. If this is interpreted as the result of a binary orbit, it suggests that there may be a Jupiter-size object orbiting the pulsar at a distance of 10 to the 6th km.
