User manual for this template page (delete it when you create your new page)

3PC was submitted (5 April 2023) to ApJ Suppl with 294 confirmed gamma-ray pulsars. Another >40 4FGL sources are tabulated in 3PC as highly promising candidates. These include: PSC MSP discoveries at the positions of non-variable LAT sources with pulsar-like spectra (Table 6) ; other Galactic pulsars co-located with LAT sources (Table 5) ; optical and/or X-ray spider candidates co-located with LAT sources (Table 15). Furthermore, radio pulsars continue to be found in surveys, independently of the PSC and/or the LAT catalogs, some of which lead directly to gamma-ray pulsations.

As phase-connected rotation ephemerides are obtained, gamma-ray pulsations are seen, confirming the candidates. In the month following submission, 3 were found.

This page is part of the process to make them public. If the discoverers agree, and new gamma-ray pulsar is accepted by LAT Gatekeepers (i.e. is already posted at Detected Gamma-Ray Pulsars) then:

  1. Copy this page to create a new one, with the pulsar name in the title. Replace this blurb on your new page with one summarizing the gamma-ray discovery path: who did what and how. Below is sample information you may want to provide. Edit this template page to add suggestions you may have.
  2. Link your new page to the Public List of LAT-Detected Gamma-Ray Pulsars. Invite Nestor Mirabal <nestorm@umbc.edu> to link it to https://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/data/access/lat/3rd_PSR_catalog/ . Inform your LAT pulsar colleagues.
  3. That's it!

This pulsar was discovered by AAA et al, using instrument BBB, subsequent to ideas/observations advanced by CCC et al at such and such wavelength using instrument DDD. Key dates, if you have them.


If the discoverers are willing to share the .par file (rotation ephemeris), you could put it here.

Show the gamma-ray phase histogram. If you have Htest vs MJD ; and/or MJD vs Phase ; and/or phase histograms in energy sub-bands ; then show them as well.

Show the LAT Spectral Energy Distribution if you have it.

Show the radio discovery plot if you have it.  If you know how to overlay it, phase aligned, on the gamma-ray histogram, then do so.

Show the spatial map of the pulsar (where it is on the sky, what's nearby) if you think it's interesting.

Et cetera.
