NASA's Fermi Finds Youngest Millisecond Pulsar, 100 Pulsars To-Date
January 11, 2013
This plot shows the positions of nine new pulsars (magenta) discovered by Fermi and of an unusual millisecond pulsar (green) that Fermi data reveal to be the youngest such object known. With this new batch of discoveries, Fermi has detected more than 100 pulsars in gamma rays. Credit: NASA/DOE/Fermi LAT Collaboration
