The telescopes on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) have observed PSRB1055-52 a number of times between 1991 and 1998. From these data, a moredetailed picture of the gamma radiation from this source has been developed,showing several characteristics which distinguish this pulsar: the light curveis complex; there is no detectable unpulsed emission; the energy spectrum isflat, with no evidence of a sharp high-energy cutoff up to >4 GeV. Comparisonsof the gamma-ray data with observations at longer wavelengths show that no twoof the known gamma-ray pulsars have quite the same characteristics; thisdiversity make s interpretation in terms of theoretical models difficult.Comment: 31 pages, 5 figures and 1 separate table, accepted for publication in Ap
