A survey of the Galactic plane in the region $-60\degree \leq l \leq 30\degree$, $|b| \leq 0.25\degree$ was carried out using the seven-beam Parkes Methanol Multibeam (MMB) receiver, which operates at a frequency of 6.5 GHz. Three pulsars…
Context. More than one hundred GeV pulsars have been detected up to now by the LAT telescope on the Fermi gamma-ray observatory, showing peak energies around a few GeV. Current modelling proposes that the high energy emission comes from…
We present results of a 3D model of optical to gamma-ray emission from the slot gap accelerator of a rotation-powered pulsar. Primary electrons accelerating to high-altitudes in the unscreened electric field of the slot gap reach…
We present results of Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory EGRET observations of the unidentified high-energy gamma-ray sources 2EG J1049-5847 (GEV J1047-5840, 3EG J1048-5840) and 2EG J1103-6106 (3EG J1102-6103). These sources are spatially…
A number of rotation-powered millisecond pulsars are powerful sources of X-ray emission. We present predictions for the spectral characteristics of these sources at gamma-ray energies, using a model for acceleration and pair cascades on…
We have searched for radio pulsations towards 49 Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) 1FGL Catalog $\gamma$-ray sources using the Green Bank Telescope at 350 MHz. We detected 18 millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in blind searches of the data; 10 of…
Radio galaxies are uncommon $\gamma$-ray emitters, and only low redshift radio galaxies are detected with Fermi-LAT. However, they offer potential insights into the emission mechanisms of active galaxies, particularly as the alignment of…
We report the detection of pulsed gamma-ray emission from the fast millisecond pulsars (MSPs) B1937+21 (also known as J1939+2134) and B1957+20 (J1959+2048) using 18 months of survey data recorded by the \emph{Fermi} Large Area Telescope…
To track the formation and evolution links of the millisecond pulsars (MSPs) powered by accretion and rotation in the Galactic field, we investigate the spin period (P) and spin-down power (Edot) distributions of the MSPs observed at the…
Because of the relatively broad angular resolution of current gamma-ray instruments in the MeV-GeV energy range, the photons of a given source are mixed with those coming from nearby sources or diffuse background. This source confusion…
We report discovery of several energetic radio bursts at 34 MHz, using the Gauribidanur radio telescope. The radio bursts exhibit two important properties associated with the propagation of astronomical signals through the interstellar…
The Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT) has recently revealed a large population of gamma-ray emitting millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in our Galaxy. We aim to infer the properties of the Galactic population of gamma-ray emitting MSPs from…
There is active interest in the extent to which unresolved gamma-ray pulsars contribute to the galactic diffuse emission, and whether unresolved gamma-ray pulsars could be responsible for the excess of diffuse galactic emission above 1 GeV…
We use a simple two-layer outer gap model, whose accelerator consists of a primary region and a screening region, to discuss $\gamma$-ray spectrum of mature pulsars detected by $Fermi$. By solving the Poisson equation with an assumed simple…
We present pulsar emission beam analyses and models in an effort to examine pulsar geometry and physics at the lowest frequencies scattering permits. We consider two populations of well-studied pulsars that lie outside the Arecibo sky, the…
Soon after the discovery of radio pulsars in 1967, the pulsars are identified as strongly magnetic (typically $10^{12}$G) rapidly rotating ($\sim 10^{2}-0.1$ Hz) neutron stars. However, the mechanism of particle acceleration in the pulsar…
The behaviour of the pulsar spectrum at high radio frequencies can provide decisive information about the nature of the radio emission mechanism. We report recent observations of a selected sample of pulsars at lambda=9mm (32 GHz) with the…
We report the analysis of the first deep optical observations of three isolated $\gamma$-ray pulsars detected by the {\em Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope}: the radio-loud PSR\, J0248+6021 and PSR\, J0631+1036, and the radio-quiet PSR\,…
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 (B1937+21; the first MSP…
Magnetic pair creation $\gamma \to e^+e^-$ has been at the core of radio pulsar paradigms and central to polar cap models of gamma-ray pulsars for over three decades. The Fermi gamma-ray pulsar population now exceeds 140 sources and has…
