With contemporaneous ephemerides we have detected gamma-ray pulsations from PSR B1937+21, the first MSP ever discovered, and B1957+20, the first known black-widow system. The two MSPs share a number of properties: they are energetic and distant compared to other gamma-ray MSPs, and both of them exhibit aligned radio and gamma-ray emission peaks, indicating co-located emission regions in the outer magnetosphere of the pulsars. However, radio observations are also crucial for revealing MSPs in Fermi unassociated sources. In a search for radio pulsations at the position of such unassociated sources, the Nan\\c{c}ay Radio Telescope discovered two MSPs, PSRs J2017+0603 and J2302+4442, increasing the sample of known Galactic disk MSPs. Subsequent radio timing observations led to the detection of gamma-ray pulsations from these two MSPs as well. We describe multiwavelength timing and spectral analysis of these four pulsars, and the modeling of their gamma-ray light curves in the context of theoretical models.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-01-04T07:55:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "98.70.Rz", "96.50.Vg", "97.60.Gb", "95.85.Bh" ], "keywords": [ "millisecond pulsars", "multiwavelength analysis", "radio timing observations", "gamma-ray pulsations", "gamma-ray light curves" ], "tags": [ "conference paper", "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1063/1.3615125" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 883120, "adsabs": "2011AIPC.1357..241G" } } }
