The 40″ × 40″ VLT/FORS2 image of PSR J1028 − 5819 in the v_HIGH filter (4800 s). North to the top, east to the left. The cross marks the pulsar radio-interferometry position (Keith et al. 2008), while the circle (~5″ radius) marks the position of the candidate X-ray counterpart detected by Swift/XRT (Abdo et al. 2009a; Marelli et al. 2011). Stars close to the radio position are labelled (A–D). The bright star A (V = 13.12) is saturated in the FORS2 image. The intensity scale in the image has been stretched to help visualise the fainter stars (B–D).
