Searching for the optical counterparts of two young gamma-ray pulsars

R. P. Mignani, V. Testa, M. Marelli +7

We report on the first deep optical observations of two -ray pulsars, both among the very first discovered by the {\em Fermi} Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The two pulsars are the…

Observations of three young gamma-ray pulsars with the Gran Telescopio Canarias

R. P. Mignani, N. Rea, V. Testa +6

We report the analysis of the first deep optical observations of three isolated -ray pulsars detected by the {\em Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope}: the radio-loud PSR\, J0248+60…

A candidate optical counterpart to the middle-aged gamma-ray pulsar PSR J1741-2054

R. P. Mignani, V. Testa, M. Marelli +7

We carried out deep optical observations of the middle-aged -ray pulsar PSR J1741-2054 with the Very Large Telescope (VLT). We identified two objects, of magnitudes $m_v=23.10\p…

Young and middle age pulsar light-curve morphology: Comparison of Fermi observations with gamma-ray and radio emission geometries

M. Pierbattista, A. K. Harding, P. L. Gonthier +1

Thanks to the huge amount of gamma-ray pulsar photons collected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope since June 2008, it is now possible to constrain gamma-ray geometrical models by c…

The ratio of profile peak separations as a probe of pulsar radio-beam structure

J. Dyks, M. Pierbattista

The known population of pulsars contains objects with four and five component profiles, for which the peak-to-peak separations between the inner and outer components can be measure…

Light-curve modelling constraints on the obliquities and aspect angles of the young Fermi pulsars

M. Pierbattista, A. K. Harding, I. A. Grenier +4

In more than four years of observation the Large Area Telescope on board the Fermi satellite has identified pulsed -ray emission from more than 80 young pulsars, providing light…
