The predictive power of the outer gap model of high energy emission from pulsars is used to analyze the Parkes Multibeam pulsar survey. We find that most of the radio pulsars of the Parkes catalog are not $\gamma$-ray emitters according to…

The Early Gaia Data Release 3 (EDR3) provides precise astrometry for nearly 1.5 billion sources across the entire sky. A few tens of these are associated with neutron stars in the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds. Here, we report on a search…

The non-detection of pulsed sub-TeV gamma-rays from EGRET pulsars proves that the EGRET pulsed spectra of all gamma-ray pulsars should terminate at energies below a few hundred GeV. The spectrum of a typical integrated pulse profile…

We report the discovery of four gamma-ray pulsars, detected in computing-intensive blind searches of data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). The pulsars were found using a novel search approach, combining volunteer distributed…

Mean pulse profiles and polarization properties are presented for nine southern pulsars. The observations were made using the Parkes radio telescope at frequencies near 1330 MHz; three of the nine pulsars were also observed at 660 MHz. A…

We report the detection of gamma-ray pulsations from the high-magnetic-field rotation-powered pulsar PSR J1119-6127 using data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope. The gamma-ray light curve of PSR J1119-6127 shows a single, wide peak offset…

Using survey data, we have re-evaluated the correlation of flat spectrum radio sources with EGRET sources in the Northern sky. A likelihood analysis incorporating the radio and X-ray properties and the Gamma-ray source localization is used…
