We have discovered five millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in a survey of 14 unidentified Fermi-LAT sources in the southern sky using the Parkes radio telescope. PSRs J0101-6422, J1514-4946, and J1902-5105 reside in binaries, while PSRs J1658-5324…

Pulsed gamma-ray emission from millisecond pulsars (MSPs) has been detected by the sensitive Fermi, which sheds light on studies of the emission region and mechanism. In particular, the specific patterns of radio and gamma-ray emission from…
