GLAST LAT pulsar research is significantly enhanced if accurate rotation ephemerides for known neutrons stars are available. This is described in "Pulsar Timing for the GLAST Large Area Telescope", D.A. Smith et al, to be submitted to Astron. Astrophysics. A draft version is here.

Sustained pulsar monitoring for GLAST is provided by a consortium of radio and X-ray astronomers. A memorandum of understanding describing the consortium's agreement with the LAT collaboration is LAT-MD-09047-01. A memorandum of understanding describing an agreement between the Urumqi radio observatory (Nanshan, China) and the LAT collaboration is LAT-MD-9064-01.

The pulsars being monitored are in the table, below, which was copied from http://www.atnf.csiro.au/people/joh414/glast/ on 23 May, 2008.
