We describe an image-based method that uses two radio criteria, compactness and spectral index, to identify promising pulsar candidates among Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) unassociated sources. These criteria are applied to those radio…

Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) and normal non-recycled pulsars are both detected in $\gamma$-rays. However, it appears that a much larger fraction of known energetic and nearby MSPs are detected in $\gamma$-rays, in comparison with normal…
