We report on the analysis of 13 gamma-ray pulsars discovered in the Einstein@Home blind search survey using Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) Pass 8 data. The 13 new gamma-ray pulsars were discovered by searching 118 unassociated LAT sources from the third LAT source catalog (3FGL), selected using the Gaussian Mixture Model machine-learning algorithm on the basis of their gamma-ray emission properties being suggestive of pulsar magnetospheric emission. The new gamma-ray pulsars have pulse…

Detection and Timing of Gamma-Ray Pulsations from the 707 Hz Pulsar J0952−0607
The Low-Frequency Array radio telescope discovered the 707 Hz binary millisecond pulsar (MSP) J0952−0607 in a targeted radio pulsation search of an unidentified Fermi gamma-ray source. This source…
X-ray counterpart candidates for six new γ-ray pulsars
Using archival X-ray data we have found point-like X-ray counterpart candidates positionally coincident with six $\gamma$-ray pulsars discovered recently in the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope data…
Discovery of the Galactic High-mass Gamma-Ray Binary 4FGL J1405.1−6119
We report the identification from multiwavelength observations of the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) source 4FGL J1405.1−6119 (=3FGL J1405.4−6119) as a high-mass gamma-ray binary. Observations with…
The Galactic population and properties of young, highly energetic pulsars
The population of young, non-recycled pulsars with spin down energies Edot >10^35 erg/s is sampled predominantly at gamma-ray and radio wavelengths. A total of 137 such pulsars are known, with…
Population Syntheses of Millisecond Pulsars from the Galactic Disk and Bulge
We present the results of a population synthesis of radio and γ-ray millisecond pulsars (MSPs) from the galactic disk (GD). Using 92 radio MSPs detected in 13 radio surveys and 54 Fermi MSPs detected…
The GMRT High-resolution Southern Sky Survey for Pulsars and Transients. II. New Discoveries, Timing, and Polarization Properties
We have been conducting the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope High Resolution Southern Sky (GHRSS) survey for the last four years and have discovered 18 pulsars to date. The GHRSS survey is an…
The thousand-pulsar-array programme on MeerKAT IV: Polarization properties of young, energetic pulsars
We present observations of 35 high spin-down energy radio pulsars using the MeerKAT telescope. Polarization profiles and associated parameters are also presented. We derive the geometry for a…
The highest energy HAWC sources are likely leptonic and powered by pulsars
The HAWC Collaboration has observed gamma rays at energies above 56 TeV from a collection of nine sources. It has been suggested that this emission could be hadronic in nature, requiring that these…
Multiwavelength Spectral Analysis and Neural Network Classification of Counterparts to 4FGL Unassociated Sources
The Fermi-LAT unassociated sources represent some of the most enigmatic gamma-ray sources in the sky. Observations with the Swift-XRT and -UVOT telescopes have identified hundreds of likely X-ray and…
A search for radio pulsars in five nearby supernova remnants
Most neutron stars are expected to be born in supernovae, but only about half of supernova remnants (SNRs) are associated with a compact object. In many cases, a supernova progenitor may have…
