Gamma Ray Pulsars: Observations
High-energy gamma rays are a valuable tool for studying particle acceleration and radiation in the magnetospheres of energetic pulsars. The six or more pulsars seen by CGRO/EGRET show that: the light curves usually have double-peak structures (suggesting a broad cone of emission); gamma rays are frequently the dominant component of the radiated power; and all the spectra show evidence of a high...

High-energy gamma rays are a valuable tool for studying particle acceleration and radiation in the magnetospheres of energetic pulsars. The seven or more pulsars seen by instruments on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) show that: the light curves usually have double-peak structures (suggesting a broad cone of emission); gamma rays are frequently the dominant component of the radiated pow...
متن کاملX-ray and γ-ray observations of millisecond pulsars
The launch of several sensitive X-ray and γ-ray instruments during the last decade heralded a new era in the research of millisecond pulsars. The current number of millisecond pulsars detected in the X-ray spectral window is about 30, including those located in globular clusters, which represents a significant fraction of the total number of spin-down powered pulsars emitting high-energy radiat...
متن کاملOSSE Observations of X-Ray Pulsars
We report on OSSE observations of the Be binary pulsars A0535+26, GRO J1008{57, and 4U 0115+63 at energies above 50 keV. The spectra are generally thermal, with exponential folding energies of 15{25 keV, and no evidence for hard power-law tails. We have clearly detected a strong cyclotron absorption line at 110 keV from A0535+26 [1], and we nd a suggestion of an absorption line near 90 keV from...
متن کاملObservations of millisecond X-ray pulsars
I present an observational review of the five accretion-driven millisecond X-ray pulsars currently known, focusing on the results obtained with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) satellite. A prominent place in this review is given to the first such system discovered, SAX J1808.4–3658. Currently four outbursts have been detected from this source, three of which have been studied using RXTE....
