Study of Pulsar phase of PSR J2032+4126 with pass 8 Fermi data

POSTER

Abstract

A pulsar is an extremely dense and highly magnetized rotating neutron star. Their periodic rotation produces pulsed emissions and this periodicity makes them a very useful tool in various studies. Several γ-ray pulsars have been observed in the Star Forming Region of Cygnus constellation of our Galaxy by various observatories. The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has been taking data from the direction of the Cygnus region and reported multiple pulsars in the region. One of the brightest pulsar reported is PSR J2032+4126, which has been detected at both radio and gamma ray energy regime. The emission from the bright pulsars masks the emission and activities from the nearby region. Hence, in addition to understanding the pulsar, estimating the on-pulse and off-pulse periods of the pulsar can be crucial at times to understand the nearby region as well. This contribution will present the study of PSR J2032+4126 with 10 years of Fermi data using publicly available Fermi Science tools and FERMIPY software.
