Scientific paper
Since Fermi was launched in June 2008, its main instrument, the Large Area Telescope (LAT), has observed the gamma-ray sky with unprecedented sensitivity, establishing pulsars as the largest gamma-ray source class in the Galaxy and enabling a considerable advance in our understanding of their high-energy emission properties. The number of known gamma-ray pulsars is approaching a hundred, including pulsars discovered in blind searches of the Fermi LAT data, and a population of gamma-ray millisecond pulsars. Supporting radio observations have been key to the success of pulsar studies with Fermi. As an example, searches for radio pulsars in Fermi sources with no known counterparts yielded a burst of discoveries of new millisecond pulsars, with more than thirty detections of these particularly interesting objects to date. We review Fermi LAT observations of gamma-ray pulsars and the multi-wavelength follow-up of pulsars discovered in Fermi unidentified sources.
