Description

The fourth catalag of Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) consists of
2157 unassociated gamma ray sources. These are gamma-ray sources whose
counterparts in other wavelengths (such as radio, X-ray, or optical) have not
been identified. Their nature remains a mystery making them fascinating
objects to study. The Direct Search Analysis (DSA) , a novel method also
utilised to analyse continuous gravitational waves, plays a crucial role in
studying the nature of these unassociated sources. In the presentation, I will
discuss the application of DSA to investigate the characteristics of the
unassociated gamma ray sources. My analysis focuses on a selected group of
unassociated sources, employing DSA to study their patterns and signatures
to determine if these unassociated sources are gamma-ray Pulsars.
