“…EGRET quickly expanded the number of gamma-ray pulsars [739], currently counting around 200. Most of them have been discovered thanks to the Large Area Telescope (LAT) instrument onboard the Fermi satellite [740]. Pulsars have been observed from radio to VHE gamma rays so far.…”

The exploration of the universe has recently entered a new era thanks to the multi-messenger paradigm, characterized by a continuous increase in the quantity and quality of experimental data that is obtained by the detection of the various cosmic messengers (photons, neutrinos, cosmic rays and gravitational waves) from numerous origins. They give us information about their sources in the universe and the properties of the intergalactic medium. Moreover, multi-messenger astronomy opens up the possibility to search for phenomenological signatures of quantum gravity. On the one hand, the most energetic events allow us to test our physical theories at energy regimes which are not directly accessible in accelerators; on the other hand, tiny effects in the propagation of very high energy particles could be amplified by cosmological distances. After decades of merely theoretical investigations, the possibility of obtaining phenomenological indications of Planck-scale effects is a revolutionary step in the quest for a quantum theory of gravity, but it requires cooperation between different communities of physicists (both theoretical and experimental). This review, prepared within the COST Action CA18108 "Quantum gravity phenomenology in the multi-messenger approach", is aimed at promoting this cooperation by giving a state-of-the art account of the interdisciplinary expertise that is needed in the effective search of quantum gravity footprints in the production, propagation and detection of cosmic messengers.

Observations with the current generation of very-high-energy gamma-ray telescopes have revealed an astonishing variety of particle accelerators in the Milky Way, such as supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, and binary systems. The upcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be the first instrument to enable a survey of the entire Galactic plane in the energy range from a few tens of GeV to 300 TeV with unprecedented sensitivity and improved angular resolution. In this contribution we will revisit the scientific motivations for the survey, proposed as a Key Science Project for CTA. We will highlight recent progress, including improved physically-motivated models for Galactic source populations and interstellar emission, advance on the optimization of the survey strategy, and the development of pipelines to derive source catalogues tested on simulated data. Based on this, we will provide a new forecast on the properties of the sources that CTA will detect and discuss the expected scientific return from the study of gamma-ray source populations.

“…Gamma-ray pulsations from this pulsar are relatively faint, but its very large distance for a gamma-ray pulsar of ∼50 kpc makes B0540−69 the most luminous gamma-ray pulsar known at present. Smith et al (2017) [11] also recently reported the detection of six recently-discovered pulsars with the LAT, some of them exhibiting very faint gamma-ray pulsations. A "Pulsar Timing Consortium" was organized before the launch of Fermi, to provide the LAT collaboration with contemporaneous timing solutions for as many pulsars as possible [15].…”

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 these proceedings I give an overview of the main results from Fermi LAT pulsar observations. I also discuss some of the implications of these results in terms of population statistics and high-energy pulsar emission properties.
