Description
Gamma-ray observations with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) have revealed significant pulsations from more than 200 young and recycled, millisecond pulsars. These observations have demonstrated that pulsars are by far the largest source class in the Galactic plane at GeV energies, and more gamma-ray pulsars are still being revealed by the LAT. In this talk I will give an overview of the main results from Fermi LAT pulsar observations, and from studies of unassociated LAT sources likely to contain pulsars. I will discuss some of the implications of these results in terms of population statistics and high-energy pulsar emission properties.
