An international team of astronomers has produced a new catalog of 294 gamma-ray emitting pulsars discovered in data from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, plus 34 suspects awaiting confirmation. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) in Hannover, Germany, contributed 53 pulsars to the catalog.
