Pulsars are compact objects that emit regular bursts of radiation detectable by astronomers. Gamma-ray pulsars emit their bursts of radiation at extremely high energies. This article describes a study which examines parameters describing a set of gamma-ray pulsars. Correlations between these parameters help astronomers determine the distances to these objects, providing an aid to understanding their properties.
