Scientific paper

The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the recently launched Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (formerly GLAST) has greatly increased the sensitivity to astrophysical gamma-ray sources over previous gamma-ray telescope missions such as the Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO). The LAT has a much larger effective area and field of view, helping to increase the number of detections of gamma-ray pulsars. In addition to detecting previously known Gamma-ray pulsars, Fermi has detected a number of new pulsar candidates. A blind search for radio-quiet (Geminga-like) pulsars is performed using the robust time-differencing technique. Another search for radio-loud pulsars is performed using known radio timing data from a radio and X-ray timing campaign of previously known pulsars. I will present results on the latest searches for pulsars.
