Figure 2: Images a) and b) are the Field of View (FOV) of PSR J1744-1134 in V, before and after PSF-subtraction, respectively. The circle of is centered at the radio position of the PSR to provide a scale. Images c) and d) show the FOV of PSR J1024-0719 in U, before and after PSF-subtraction respectively. The position of the pulsar within the circle is marked by the small white arrow. The blue object 1024-Fnt is encircled within the smaller region, just north of 1024-Br.

	Figure 3: Optical photometry of pulsars. The top set () is for the Crab pulsar with flux densities scaled down by a factor of 100 to fit in the graph. It also includes a measurement in the UV band at Å. Next is the LMC pulsar PSR 0540-69 (), followed by the Vela pulsar PSR 0833-45 (squares). Finally, at the bottom are extinction-corrected flux densities of the object 1024-Fnt ().

	Figure 5: Multiwaveband emission from near PSR J1024-0719. Included are the radio flux densities at 400, 600 and 1400 MHz; the optical data (this paper) of 1024-Fnt; and the ROSAT HRI X-ray data. Two illustrative power laws and a blackbody curve are shown. The blackbody emission is from a heated region of the neutron star polar cap of radius 60 m and temperature  K, at a distance of 50 pc.
