## TL;DR

Over eight years, Fermi's LAT has significantly advanced gamma-ray pulsar research by detecting over 200 pulsars with diverse properties and discovering 10 new radio pulsars exhibiting gamma-ray pulsations.

## Contribution

This paper provides an overview of Fermi LAT's impact and reports the discovery of 10 new gamma-ray pulsars, expanding the known pulsar population and diversity.

## Key findings

- Over 200 gamma-ray pulsars detected by Fermi LAT.
- Identification of 10 new gamma-ray pulsars, including 6 young and 4 recycled.
- Enhanced understanding of pulsar diversity and emission properties.

## Abstract

In 8 years of operation, the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi satellite has impacted our understanding of gamma-ray pulsars dramatically. The LAT now sees over two hundred pulsars: the largest class of GeV sources in the Milky Way. They are diverse -- radio loud versus quiet, young versus millisecond, in evolving binary systems versus isolated, and so on. Relatively few of the GeV pulsars have also been seen in soft gamma rays. After an overview, we present 10 new radio pulsars, six young and four recycled, for which we detect gamma-ray pulsations.
