Abstract

Lasker (1976) has proposed to identify a B roughly equals 23.7 mag star as thermal radiation from the hot neutron star associated with the Vela pulsar. It is shown that this identification, if correct, together with existing X-ray surveys of the Vela supernova remnant, requires that the radius of this pulsar certainly exceed 45 km, and probably 95 km.
