Scientific paper

Forty six gamma-ray pulsars were reported in the First Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) Catalog of Gamma-ray Pulsars. Over forty more have been seen since then. A simple but effective figure-of-merit for gamma-detectability is sqrt(Edot)/d^2, where Edot is the pulsar spindown power and d the distance. We are tracking down the best gamma-ray candidates not yet seen. We present the timing and spectral analysis results of some new high spindown power, nearby gamma-ray pulsars. We also update some population distribution plots in preparation for the 2nd Fermi LAT gamma-ray Pulsar Catalog.
