Abstract:
On July 7, 1984 pulsar 0656+14 was found to exhibit a larger period than expected. Using observations from a number of sources, we have attempted to explain this discrepancy. No indications of orbital motion was found. The available evidence indicates that the star has a period derivative of 54 10(-15) s s-1 rather than 1.6 10(-15) s s-1 as previously reported.
