Caption: Figure 10.
Measured integral photon flux above 100 MeV, F 100, vs. the 5σ flux sensitivity described in Figure 9. For F 100, the statistical uncertainties combined with the systematic uncertainties due to the diffuse emission model are shown. An additional systematic bias of (+30%, − 10%) affects F 100 (see the text). The effective blind search sensitivity is comparable to the 2 × 5σ line, although a few pulsars are discovered at lower flux, presumably due to favorable pulse profiles, spectra, or local backgrounds. Blue squares: gamma-ray-selected pulsars. Red triangles: millisecond gamma-ray pulsars. Green circles: all other radio-loud gamma-ray pulsars.
