The Fermi Pulsar Revolution

Arguably the most exciting result from the Fermi mission is the discovery of gamma-ray emission from many neutron stars.   A class of seven has grown to number nearly fifty in the first Fermi pulsar catalogue.  A large fraction of these objects are radio quiet and only a few lie in supernova remnants, so the identity of these objects would have remained unknown if it weren't for the outstanding sensitivity of Fermi and the development of blind search algorithms for the gamma-ray telescope.  Check out the following articles for more:
