Geminga (pronounced geh-MING-ga), discovered in 1972 by NASA's Small Astronomy Satellite 2, is among the brightest pulsars in gamma rays. It is located about 800 light-years away in the constellation Gemini. Geminga's name is both a play on the phrase "Gemini gamma-ray source" and the expression "it's not there" — referring to

The pulsar is named Geminga, and it's one of the nearest pulsars to Earth, about 800 light-years away in the constellation Gemini. Not only is it close to Earth, but Geminga is also very bright in gamma rays. The halo itself is invisible to our eyes, obviously, since it's in the gamma wavelengths.

Nearby pulsar a likely source of high-energy antimatter cosmic rays

https://astronomynow.com/2019/12/31/nearby-pulsar-a-likely-source-of-high-energy-antimatter-cosmic-rays/
Nearby pulsar a likely source of high-energy antimatter cosmic rays. Geminga is the name given to a pulsar 800 light years away that spins on its axis every 4.2 seconds. It is one of the brightest sources of pulsar-generated gamma rays, sporting a faint but vast halo that, if visible to human eyes, would appear 40 times larger than the full moon.

Timing the Geminga pulsar with EGRET data - NASA Technical Reports

https://ntrs.nasa.gov/search.jsp?R=19960016279
The pulsation of Geminga has been detected to date only at high energies (E greater than 0.1 keV). Since x-ray exposures are short and Geminga is at best only marginally detected in gamma-rays at E less than 30 MeV, the primary means of timing Geminga is with high-energy gamma-rays. The EGRET observations of Geminga now span 4 years. These data are analyzed to determine the 1995 ephemeris for

Should We Blame Pulsars for Too Much Antimatter? - AAS Nova

https://aasnova.org/2019/10/09/should-we-blame-pulsars-for-too-much-antimatter/
Clues from Gamma-rays. One of the leading theories is that the excess positrons are produced by nearby pulsars — rapidly rotating, magnetized neutron stars. We know that pulsars gradually spin slower and slower over time, losing power as they spew a stream of high-energy electrons and positrons into the surrounding interstellar medium.
