Scientific paper

PSR B 1951+32 has the hardest spectrum of the six pulsars seen clearly in GeV gamma rays with EGRET, with no indication of a spectral break. The diffuse gamma background in the Cygnus region where it is located is so high that it is the only EGRET pulsar that was not also listed as an unpulsed source in the third catalog. These two properties make it an especially useful case to explore the selection cuts used to enhance the signals from gamma ray emitters observed with the GLAST Large Area Telescope (LAT). The paper presents a new set of cuts using the simulated Data Challenge 2 (DC2), which increases the faint source statistics in the high diffuse gamma background, as for the radio pulsar PSR B 1951+32.
