Fermi LAT Second Catalog of Gamma-Ray Pulsars (2PC)

Metadata Updated: April 10, 2026

This catalog summarizes 0.1 GeV gamma-ray pulsar detections using data acquired by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi satellite. These pulsars are neutron stars identified using LAT data through periodicity searches in gamma-ray and radio data around LAT unassociated source positions. The catalogued pulsars are divided into three groups: millisecond pulsars, young radio-loud pulsars, and young radio-quiet pulsars. This catalog summarizes results of the analysis of pulse profiles and energy spectra, and analysis of the off-peak phase intervals, and compares the gamma-ray properties with those in the radio, optical, and X-ray bands. Flux limits for pulsars with no observed gamma-ray emission are provided. This database was constructed by the HEASARC by combining the tabulated data in the psrcat.dat, spec.dat, offpk.dat and refs.dat obtained from <a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013yCat..22080017A">http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013yCat..22080017A</a>;.
