Description

The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has been scanning the gamma-ray sky since 2008. The number of pulsars detected by the LAT now exceeds 200, making them by far the largest class of Galactic gamma-ray emitters. I will present some of the latest pulsar discoveries made by the LAT, describe the properties that make some of these systems unique and discuss them in the context of current pulsar emission models.
