Abstract Using on-line digital techniques at the Princeton 36-inch (91-cm) telescope, time series were obtained on pulsar candidates drawn from five classes: single-line binary stars with anomalously heavy unseen companions (10 sources), recent novae (3), X-ray sources (4), extragalactic supernovae (1), and supernova remnants (1). We examined the data through autocorrelation and powerspectrum analyses for both narrow- and wide-band features. Typical spectral resolution is l0- Hz, while the maximum frequency varies from 50 to 5000 Hz. The system was tested by observing the one known optical pulsar. With this exception, no pulsation was detected down to the limits which are reported.
