The period of the intermediate polar AO PSC (= H2252-035).
Abstract
Photometry of the intermediate polar AO Psc (=H2252-035) is reported. An upper limit of less than 8.5 x 10 to the -7th/yr is derived for the rate of change of the spin period of the accreting object, thus ruling out a neutron star. The importance of future monitoring of these systems is emphasized.
