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. ...
The Vela pulsar: results from the first year of Fermi LAT observations
(IOP Publishing, 2010)
We report on analysis of timing and spectroscopy of the Vela pulsar using 11 months of observations with the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The intrinsic brightness of Vela at GeV energies ...
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, ...
PSR J2021+4026 in the gamma cygni region: the first variable γ-ray pulsar seen by the Fermi LAT
(IOP Publishing, 2013)
Long-term monitoring of PSR J2021+4026 in the heart of the Cygnus region with the Fermi Large Area Telescope unveiled a sudden decrease in flux above 100 MeV over a timescale shorter than a week. The "jump" was near MJD ...
Broadband pulsations from PSR B1821-24: implications for emission models and the pulsar population of M28
(IOP Publishing, 2013)
We report the Fermi Large Area Telescope discovery of γ-ray pulsations from the 22.7 ms pulsar A in the double pulsar system J0737−3039A/B. This is the first mildly recycled millisecond pulsar (MSP) detected in the GeV ...
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 ...
Detection of the energetic pulsar PSR B1509-58 and its pulsar wind nebula in MSH 15-52 using the Fermi-Large Area Telescope
(IOP Publishing, 2010)
We report the detection of high-energy γ-ray emission from the young and energetic pulsar PSR B1509 – 58 and its pulsar wind nebula (PWN) in the composite supernova remnant G320.4 – 1.2 (aka MSH 15 – 52). Using 1 yr of ...
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), ...
Fermi-LAT discovery of GeV gamma-ray emission from the young supernova remnant Cassiopeia A.
(IOP Publishing, 2010)
We report on the first detection of GeV high-energy gamma-ray emission from a young supernova remnant (SNR) with the Large Area Telescope aboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. These observations reveal a source with ...
Gamma-Ray emission from the shell of supernova remnant W44 revealed by the Fermi LAT
(AAAS, 2010)
Recent observations of supernova remnants (SNRs) hint that they accelerate cosmic rays to energies close to ~1015 electron volts. However, the nature of the particles that produce the emission remains ambiguous. We report ...
