Keck LRIS images of PSR J1544+4937, revealing a variable optical source at the nominal pulsar position. From left to right: B-, g-, R-, and I-band images, respectively. In each band, a pair of images taken within 1 hr are shown, with the brighter one on the top. Green circles denote the radio position of the pulsar from Bhattacharyya et al. (2013) with radii of 3''. Each image is 80'' × 80''.
