Here we investigate to what extent unresolved \gr pulsars contribute to thegalactic diffuse emission, and further whether unresolved \gr pulsars can bemade responsible for the excess of diffuse galactic emission above 1 GeV whichhas been observed by EGRET. Our analysis is based only on the properties of thesix pulsars which have been identified in the EGRET data, and is independent ofchoice of a pulsar emission model. We find that pulsars contribute very littleto the diffuse emission at lower energies, whereas above 1 GeV they can accountfor 25% of the observed intensity in selected regions for a reasonable numberof directly observable \gr pulsars ($\sim$12). While the excess above 1 GeV \grenergy is observed at least up to six or eight degrees off the plane, thepulsar contribution would be negligible there. Thus pulsars do significantlycontribute to the diffuse galactic $\gamma$-ray emission above 1 GeV, but theycan not be made responsible for all the discrepancy between observed intensityand model predictions in this energy range.Comment: 5 pages, Proceedings of the 4th Compton Symposiu
