Fermi LAT Discovery of Gamma-ray Pulsars in a Blind Search

The Einstein@home Gamma-ray Pulsar Survey. I. Search Methods, Sensitivity, and Discovery of New Young Gamma-ray Pulsars

We report on the results of a recent blind search survey for gamma-ray pulsars in Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) data being carried out on the distributed volunteer computing system, Einstein@Home. The survey has searched for pulsations in 118 unidentified pulsar-like sources, requiring about 10,000 years of CPU core time. In total, this survey has resulted in the discovery of 17 new gamma-ra...

Pulsar Simulations for the Fermi Large Area Telescope

Pulsars are among the prime targets for the Large Area Telescope (LAT) aboard the recently launched Fermi observatory. The LAT will study the gamma-ray Universe between 20 MeV and 300 GeV with unprecedented detail. Increasing numbers of gamma-ray pulsars are being firmly identified, yet their emission mechanisms are far from being understood. To better investigate and exploit the LAT capabiliti...

Gamma-Ray Pulsar Studies with GLAST

Some pulsars have their maximum observable energy output in the gamma-ray band, offering the possibility of using these high-energy photons as probes of the particle acceleration and interaction processes in pulsar magnetospheres. After an extended hiatus between satellite missions, the recently-launched AGILE mission and the upcoming Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) Large Area Tele...

A search for counterparts of γ-ray pulsars detected by the FERMI Large Area Telescope

Aims. A group of new γ−ray pulsars has recently been detected by FERMI Large Area Telescope (LAT) in a blind search. In this paper, we report the results from searching for the multi-wavelength counterparts of these pulsars. Methods. To search for their counterparts, we have cross-correlated the FERMI LAT Bright γ-ray Source List with the XMM-Newton serendipitous source catalogue (SSC), data ar...
