Abstract
The transient X-ray binary pulsar, 4U0115+63, has been observed for 37 hours by the Whipple Observatory Cherenkov imaging camera between September 1985 and January 1986. These observations were grouped into nine intervals of three days or less. One interval shows significant pulsation at the 3.6 second spin period of the neutron star member of the binary system at a flux level of (1.5±0.4)xl0-10 photons above 0.6 TeV cm-2s-1. Thus these observations confirm previous detections, with an indication that the TeV emission may be sporadic.
