Search for High Energy Pulsed Gamma Rays from Pulsars

Abstract

WE have already reported the results of a search for pulsed gamma rays (Eγ ≥ 1013 eV) from four pulsars, CP 0950, CP 1133, AP 1541 and PSR 1642 (ref. 1). We have now studied five other pulsars (NP 0527, NP 0532, CP 0834, PSR 2045 and PSR 2218) and repeated the observations on CP 0950 during the period May 1969 to March 1970.
