The first Fermi Large Area Telescope catalog of gamma-ray pulsars
(IOP Publishing, 2010)
The dramatic increase in the number of known gamma-ray pulsars since the launch of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (formerly GLAST) offers the first opportunity to study a sizable population of these high-energy objects. ...
Discovery of pulsed γ-rays from PSR J0034-0534 with the Fermi Large Area Telescope: a case for co-located radio and γ-ray emission regions
(IOP Publishing, 2010)
Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) have been firmly established as a class of γ-ray emitters via the detection of pulsations above 0.1 GeV from eight MSPs by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). Using 13 months of LAT data, ...
Fermi Large Area Telescope observations of the Vela-X pulsar wind nebula
(IOP Publishing, 2010)
We report on gamma-ray observations in the off-pulse window of the Vela pulsar PSR B0833–45 using 11 months of survey data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). This pulsar is located in the 8° diameter Vela supernova ...
PSR J1907+0602: a radio-faint gamma-ray pulsar powering a bright TeV pulsar wind nebula
(IOP Publishing, 2010)
We present multiwavelength studies of the 106.6 ms γ-ray pulsar PSR J1907+06 near the TeV source MGRO J1908+06. Timing observations with Fermi result in a precise position determination for the pulsar of R.A. = 19h07m54fs7(2), ...
Observation of supernova remnant IC 443 with the Fermi Large Area Telescope
(IOP Publishing, 2010)
We report observation of the supernova remnant (SNR) IC 443 (G189.1+3.0) with the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope Large Area Telescope (LAT) in the energy band between 200 MeV and 50 GeV. IC 443 is a shell-type SNR with ...
Discovery of gamma-ray emission from the extragalactic pulsar wind nebula N 157B with H.E.S.S
(EDP Sciences, 2012)
We present the significant detection of the first extragalactic pulsar wind nebula (PWN) detected in gamma rays, N 157B, located in the large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Pulsars with high spin-down luminosity are found to power ...
Identification of HESS J1303-631 as a pulsar wind nebula through y-ray, x-ray, and radio observations
(EDP Science, 2012)
Aims. The previously unidentified very high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) γ-ray source HESS J1303−631, discovered in 2004, is re-examined including new data from the H.E.S.S. Cherenkov telescope array in order to identify this ...
H.E.S.S. observations of the binary system PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 around the 2010/2011 periastron passage
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
Aims. We present very high energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) data from the γ-ray binary system PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 taken around its periastron passage on 15th of December 2010 with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) ...
A population of gamma-ray emitting globular clusters seen with the Fermi Large Area Telescope
(EDP Sciences, 2010)
Context. Globular clusters with their large populations of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are believed to be potential emitters of high-energy gamma-ray emission. The observation of this emission provides a powerful tool to ...
Discovery of two millisecond pulsars in Fermi sources with the nançay radio telescope
(IOP Publishing, 2011)
We report the discovery of two millisecond pulsars in a search for radio pulsations at the positions of Fermi-Large Area Telescope sources with no previously known counterparts, using the Nan¸cay Radio Telescope. The two ...
