AGILE detected three new top-ranking nearby and Vela-like pulsars with good confidence both through timing and spatial analysis. Among the newcomers we find pulsars with very high rotational energy losses, such as the remarkable PSR B1509 - 58 with a magnetic field in excess of 10^13 Gauss, and PSR J2229 + 6114 providing a reliable identification for the previously unidentified EGRET source 3EG 2227 + 6122. Moreover, the powerful millisecond pulsar B1821 - 24, in the globular cluster M28, is detected during a fraction of the observations. Four other promising gamma-ray pulsar candidates, among which is the notable J2043 + 2740 with an age in excess of 1 million years, show a possible detection in the timing analysis only and deserve confirmation.engamma rays: observationspulsars: generalpulsars: individual: PSR J2229 + 6114 PSR B1509 - 58 PSR B1821 - 24stars: neutronjournal article10.1088/0004-637X/695/1/L115https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2009ApJ...695L.115Phttps://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0004-637X/695/1/L1152009ApJ...695L.115P
