Scientific paper

The past year has been a very good one for pulsar astronomy. The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has been at the center of many of the important discoveries, which continue to be made at a fast pace in particular in collaborative efforts. In some regards, Fermi-LAT points the way, and the radio observers follow: a large number of young and middle-aged pulsars have been discovered in periodicity searches of gamma-ray photons, following which a few -- but only a few -- have been detected at radio wavelengths. The larger number of gamma-ray pulsars may lie hidden in plain sight amid the many unidentified LAT point sources. Several of these have begun to be uncovered in dedicated radio searches, resulting in the discovery of many millisecond pulsars. For some other pulsars, gamma-ray pulsations have been detected only with the aid of contemporaneous radio ephemerides. In this talk I will summarize these results, some of which will be discussed at greater length in other talks and posters, and will also touch briefly upon some other results of note in the year that was in neutron star astronomy, including updates on radio-emitting magnetars.
