Scientific paper

The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has proved to be a remarkably powerful tool for pulsar discovery. The First Fermi LAT Pulsar Catalog (Abdo et al. 2009, ApJSS) reported the detection of gamma-ray pulsations from 46 pulsars in data from the first six months of the mission. About two thirds were discovered using timing solutions derived from monitoring radio pulsars, including both young pulsars and millisecond pulsars. The remaining third were previously unknown pulsars, discovered by searching for pulsed signals at the locations of gamma-ray sources seen with the LAT. The number of detected gamma-ray pulsars has approximately doubled since then, and a second pulsar catalog is being prepared. We summarize the general properties of and key conclusions from the population of gamma-ray pulsars.
