Disk-Assisted Spindown of Young Radio Pulsars
We present a model for the spindown of young radio pulsars in which the neutron star loses rotational energy not only by emitting magnetic dipole radiation but also by torquing a surrounding disk produced by supernova fallback. The braking index predicted in our model is in general less than n = 3 (the value for pure dipole magnetic radiation), in agreement with the reported values of n < 3 for...

متن کاملEnergetic Young Radio Pulsars
Young radio pulsars shed vast amounts of rotational energy, sometimes as high as 100,000 times the total energy loss rate from the sun. The wide range of phenomena resulting from this energy loss include: glitches, timing noise, jets, bow shocks, bullets and plerions and are be reviewed from an observational perspective. Past and proposed surveys for young radio pulsars are summarised along wit...
متن کاملAccretion disk reversal and the spin-up/spin-down of accreting pulsars
We numerically investigate the hydrodynamics of accretion disk reversal and relate our findings to the observed spin-rate changes in the accreting X-ray pulsar GX 1+4. In this system, which accretes from a slow wind, the accretion disk contains two dynamically distinct regions. In the inner part viscous forces are dominant and disk evolution occurs on a viscous timescale. In the outer part dyna...
متن کاملThe possible companions of young radio pulsars
We discuss the formation of pulsars with massive companions in eccentric orbits. We demonstrate that the probability for a non-recycled radio pulsar to have a white dwarf as a companion is comparable to that of having an old neutron star as a companion. Special emphasis is given to PSR B1820–11 and PSR B2303+46. Based on population synthesis calculations we argue that PSR B1820–11 and PSR B2303...
