This book reports on the extraordinary observation of TeV gamma
rays from the Crab Pulsar, the most energetic light ever detected
from this type of object. It presents detailed information on the
painstaking analysis of the unprecedentedly large dataset from the
MAGIC telescopes, and comprehensively discusses the implications of
pulsed TeV gamma rays for state-of-the-art pulsar emission models.
Using these results, the book subsequently explores new testing
methodologies for Lorentz Invariance Violation, in terms of a
wavelength-dependent speed of light. The book also covers an
updated search for Very-High-Energy (VHE), >100 GeV, emissions
from millisecond pulsars using the Large Area Telescope on board
the Fermi satellite, as well as a study on the promising Pulsar
Wind Nebula candidate PSR J0631. The observation of VHE gamma rays
is essential to studying the non-thermal sources of radiation in
our Universe. Rotating neutron stars, also known as pulsars, are an
extreme source class known to emit VHE gamma rays. However, to date
only two pulsars have been detected with emissions above 100 GeV,
and our understanding of their emission mechanism is still lacking.
