Plokhotnichenko, Special Astrophysical Observatory, Nizhnij Arkhyz; and M. Cullum, European Southern Observatory, Garching, communicate: We observed PSR B0656+14 on Jan. 14--15 with the 6-m telescope (+ TRIFFID camera and MAMA detector) and found optical pulsations in wavelength band B (mag B=26.4). The significance of the result was 0.2 percent using the phase-independent Rayleigh statistics and 0.01 percent from studies of the Fourier power spectrum. The lightcurve showed a peak in phase with gamma-ray data, and with a lag of 0.2 from the peak of the radio signal. Our pulsed magnitude is consistent with 100 percent of the signal being pulsed.
