The anatomy of γ-ray pulsar light curves
(South African Institute of Physics, 2014)
To obtain constraints on the inclination and observer angles, <i>α</i> and <i>ζ</i>, of a <i>γ</i>-ray pulsar from its observed light curve (LC), we make use of geometric models detailing the position and extent of emission ...
What can we learn from phase alignment of γ-ray and radio pulsar light curves?
(SAIP, 2011)
The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has revolutionized high-energy (HE) astronomy, and is making enormous contributions particularly to γ-ray pulsar science. As a result of the many new pulsar discoveries, the γ-ray pulsar ...
Multiwavelength analysis of four millisecond pulsars
(AIPC, 2011)
Radio timing observations of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in support of Fermi LAT
observations of the gamma-ray sky enhance the sensitivity of high-energy pulsation searches. With
contemporaneous ephemerides we have detected ...
Modeling light curves of the phase-aligned gamma-ray millisecond pulsar subclass
(Fermi, 2011)
The gamma-ray population of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope
(LAT) has been steadily increasing. A number of the more recent detections, including PSR J0034−0534,
PSR J1939+2134 ...
Observations and modeling of gamma-ray millisecond pulsars seen with the Fermi LAT
(AIPC, 2011)
We present a summary of gamma-ray millisecond pulsar (MSP) observations with the
Fermi Large Area Telescope. The radio and gamma-ray light curves of these MSPs have been
modeled in the framework of the retarded vacuum ...
Modeling and maximum likelihood fitting of gamma-ray and radio light curves of millisecond pulsars detected with Fermi
(Fermi, 2011)
Pulsed gamma rays have been detected with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) from more than 20 millisecond pulsars (:\ISPs), some of which were discovered in radio observations of bright, unassociated LAT sources.
We ...
The effect of different magnetospheric structures on predictions of gamma-ray pulsar light curves
(SAIP, 2014)
The second pulsar catalogue of the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) will contain
in excess of 100 gamma-ray pulsars. The light curves (LCs) of these pulsars exhibit a variety
of shapes, and also different relative phase ...
Constraining viewing geometries of pulsars with single-peaked γ-ray profiles using a multiwavelength approach
(SAIP, 2011)
Since the launch of the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi spacecraft
in June 2008, the number of observed γ-ray pulsars has increased dramatically. A large number
of these are also observed at radio frequencies. ...
The effect of an offset-dipole magnetic field on the Vela pulsar’s γ-ray light curves
(SAIP, 2015)
Over the past six years, the Fermi Large Area Telescope has detected more than
150 γ-ray pulsars, discovering a variety of light curve trends and classes. Such diversity hints
at distinct underlying magnetospheric and/or ...

The second pulsar catalogue of the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) will contain in excess of 100 gamma-ray pulsars. The light curves (LCs) of these pulsars exhibit a variety of shapes, and also different relative phase ...
