Context: GeV gamma-ray pulsations from over 140 pulsars have beencharacterized using the Fermi Large Area Telescope, enabling improvedunderstanding of the emission regions within the neutron star magnetospheres,and the contributions of pulsars to high energy electrons and diffuse gammarays in the Milky Way. The first gamma-ray pulsars to be detected were the mostintense and/or those with narrow pulses. Aims: As the Fermi mission progresses,progressively fainter objects can be studied. In addition to more distantpulsars (thus probing a larger volume of the Galaxy), or ones in highbackground regions (thus improving the sampling uniformity across the Galacticplane), we detect pulsars with broader pulses or lower luminosity. Addingpulsars to our catalog with inclination angles that are rare in the observedsample, and/or with lower spindown power, will reduce the bias in the currentlyknown gamma-ray pulsar population. Methods: We use rotation ephemerides derivedfrom radio observations to phase-fold gamma rays recorded by the Fermi LargeArea Telescope, to then determine the pulse profile properties. Spectralanalysis provides the luminosities and, when the signal-to-noise ratio allows,the cutoff energies. We constrain the pulsar distances by different means inorder to minimize the luminosity uncertainties. Results: We present six newgamma-ray pulsars with an eclectic mix of properties. Three are young, andthree are recycled. They include the farthest, the lowest power, two of thehighest duty-cycle pulsars seen, and only the fourth young gamma-ray pulsarwith a radio interpulse. We discuss the biases existing in the currentgamma-ray pulsar catalog, and steps to be taken to mitigate the bias.
