Binary gamma-ray pulsars

The first pulsar has been detected in 1967 as a seemingly pulsating radio source. Since then, more than 2800 pulsars have been discovered. Most of them also in radio. With the launch of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope in 2008, more than 250 gamma-ray pulsars have been detected. This thesis concerns the development of methods to directly search the gamma-ray data for pulsars in binary systems, and presents the discovery and analysis of four such pulsars.
