Upper Limits for the Visible Counterpart of the Hulse-Taylor Binary Pulsar

Abstract

The time-averaged intensity of visible pulses from PSR 1913+16 is fainter than V = 23 mag. The absence of visible objects at the pulsar position on the Sky Survey implies a rough limit of M > 3 for the absolute magnitude of the pulsar's binary companion.
