Gamma-Ray Pulsar Studies with COMPTEL

Strong, A. W.; Grenier, I. A.; Diehl, R. +10 more

Since the launch of the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) the number of detected gamma-ray pulsars increased from two to six. COMPTEL, on-board CGRO and sensitive to gamma-rays with energies between approximately 0.7 and 30 MeV, detected three of these unambiguously. The classical Crab and Vela pulsars have been observed on several occasions an…

Gamma Rays from the Geminga Pulsar: Variations with Time and Phase

Grenier, I. A.; Hermsen, W.; Bennett, K. +5 more

Pulsed gamma radiation from the Geminga pulsar was recorded by the COS B satellite from 50 MeV to 5 GeV between 1975 and 1982. It has been analyzed to derive the source spectral properties as a function of time and phase. The two main peaks are separated by 0.50 +/- 0.01 in phase. Significant pulsed emission has also been detected in both phase re…
