Description
PSR B1951+32 is a γ-ray pulsar detected by the Energetic Gamma Ray
Experiment Telescope (EGRET) and identified with the 39.5 ms radio
pulsar in the supernova remnant CTB 80. The EGRET data shows no evidence
for a spectral turnover. Here we report on the first observations of PSR
B1951+32 beyond 30 GeV. The observations were carried out with the 10 m
γ-ray telescope at the Whipple Observatory on Mt. Hopkins,
Arizona. In 8.1 hours of observation we find no evidence for steady or
periodic emission from PSR B1951+32 above ~260 GeV. Flux upper limits
are derived and compared with model extrapolations from lower energies
and the predictions of emission models.
