Abstract

PSRs J0248+6021 & J2240+5832 are “typical” young, radio-loud pulsars detected in GeV gamma rays using the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi satellite. “Typical” because their P, P lie mid-range of those of the new gamma-ray pulsars, but also because of some nagging little observational problems. This paper focusses on the observables available to help interpret the wave of new gamma-ray pulsar findings, and some of their limitations.
