该目录总结了117个高置信度>= 0.1 GeV的伽马射线脉冲星探测使用费米卫星上的大面积望远镜(LAT)获得的三年数据。一半是中子星发现使用LAT数据通过周期性搜索的伽马射线和无线电数据周围LAT无关的源位置。这117个星座平均分为三组:毫秒星座、年轻的无线电大声星座和年轻的无线电安静星座。我们描述的脉冲轮廓和能量谱,并推导出光度时的距离信息存在。离峰相位间隔的光谱分析表明,可能的脉冲星风星云发射的四个恒星,和离峰磁层发射的几个年轻和毫秒的恒星。我们比较了伽马射线的性质与那些在无线电,光学和X射线波段。我们提供了没有观测到伽马射线发射的类星体的通量极限,突出了少量的伽马微弱,无线电大声的类星体。大的,不同的伽玛射线脉冲星样本约束发射模型。费米的选择偏差补充了那些无线电调查,加强与预测的人口分布的比较。
This catalog summarizes 117 high-confidence >= 0.1 GeV gamma-ray pulsar detections using three years of data acquired by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi satellite. Half are neutron stars discovered using LAT data through periodicity searches in gamma-ray and radio data around LAT unassociated source positions. The 117 pulsars are evenly divided into three groups: millisecond pulsars, young radio-loud pulsars, and young radio-quiet pulsars. We characterize the pulse profiles and energy spectra and derive luminosities when distance information exists. Spectral analysis of the off-peak phase intervals indicates probable pulsar wind nebula emission for four pulsars, and off-peak magnetospheric emission for several young and millisecond pulsars. We compare the gamma-ray properties with those in the radio, optical, and X-ray bands. We provide flux limits for pulsars with no observed gamma-ray emission, highlighting a small number of gamma-faint, radio-loud pulsars. The large, varied gamma-ray pulsar sample constrains emission models. Fermi's selection biases complement those of radio surveys, enhancing comparisons with predicted population distributions.
