Description We propose a pulsar timing campaign of three millisecond pulsars discovered in previous pulsar searches of Fermi gamma-ray sources. Despite an original follow-up effort, it was not possible to produce a pulsar timing solution with which to detect the expected gamma-ray pulsations. The proposed campaign combines a set of dense, initial observations with additional observations at increasing separation, a bootstrap approach which is generally successful at constraining all the fundamental parameters of the pulsar timing solution. Securing the gamma-ray pulsations will enable probes of the radio and gamma-ray emission mechanisms and searches for multi-wavelength counterparts. And perhaps more importantly, it will allow these pulsars to be incorporated into the gamma-ray pulsar timing array, providing additional baselines which will increase its sensitivity to low-frequency gravitational waves.
