Scientific paper

The high-quality Fermi LAT observations of gamma-ray pulsars open a new window to understanding the generation mechanisms of high-energy pulsar emission. To explore this, we have simulated high-energy light curves from geometrical representations of the outer gap and slot gap emission models with the vacuum retarded dipole magnetosphere model. These simulated light curves are compared with the LAT light curves of the Vela and Geminga pulsars via maximum likelihood, using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method to explore the models' phase space.
