Scientific paper

Pulsars are useful tools for probing the law of physics under extreme conditions. Since pulsars emit radiation across the whole electromagnetic spectrum they are ideal targets for multiwavelength studies. Today we know a large number of radio pulsars but unfortunately our current knowledge of gamma-ray emitting pulsars is still lacking. Presently there are only seven high-confidence detections of gamma-ray pulsars, four of them detected by the instruments of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. The launch of GLAST and AGILE mission will lead to a major breakthrough in our understanding of gamma-ray pulsars. The general properties of the presently known gamma-ray pulsars are reviewed and the impact of the future gamma-ray mission on pulsar science is presented.
