General track of pulsar evolution

General track of pulsar evolution

It is shown that large nulling, small luminosity, and a large value of the polarization angle variation are together a good indication of a pulsar's old age. Selection effects connected with the dicovery of pulsars are analyzed. The general track of pulsar evolution, along which the diagram of...

Zusammenfassung:It is shown that large nulling, small luminosity, and a large value of the polarization angle variation are together a good indication of a pulsar's old age. Selection effects connected with the dicovery of pulsars are analyzed. The general track of pulsar evolution, along which the diagram of pulsar emission and the angle between the magnetic and rotation axes decrease, is found.
