Radio pulsars as progenitors of AXPs and SGRs: magnetic field evolution through pulsar glitches
Glitches are common phenomena in pulsars. After each glitch, there is often a permanent increase in the pulsar’s spin-down rate. Therefore a pulsar’s present spin-down rate may be much higher than its initial value and the characteristic age of a pulsar based on its present spin-down rate and period may be shorter than than its true age. At the same time, the permanent increase of its spindown ...
متن کاملDiscovery of Three Pulsars from a Galactic Center Pulsar Population
We report the discovery of three pulsars whose large dispersion measures and angular proximity to SgrA* indicate the existence of a Galactic center population of neutron stars. The relatively long periods (0.98 to 1.48 s) most likely reflect strong selection against short-period pulsars from radio-wave scattering at the observation frequency of 2 GHz used in our survey with the Green Bank Teles...
متن کاملConstraints on Pulsar Evolution: The Joint Period-Spindown Distribution of Millisecond Pulsars
We calculate the joint period-spindown (P − Ṗ ) distributions of millisecond radio pulsars (MSRP) for the standard evolutionary model in order to test whether the observed MSRPs are the unequivocal descendants of millisecond X-ray pulsars (MSXP). The P − Ṗ densities implied by the standard evolutionary model compared with observations suggest that there is a statistically significant overabunda...
متن کاملHST as a reliable astrometric tool for pulsar astronomy: the cases of the Vela and Geminga pulsars
The quest for the distance of the Vela and Geminga pulsars yielded, so far, a set of four WFPC2 images for each object. The availability of couples of images taken at the same period of the year, thus affected by the same parallactic displacement, prompted us to use Vela and Geminga as test cases to assess the reliability of HST astrometry.
متن کاملInteractions between Pulsars, Pulsar Nebulae and Supernova Remnants
The Crab Nebula is likely to be expanding into freely expanding supernova ejecta, although the energy in the ejecta may be less than is typical for a Type II supernova. Pulsar nebulae much younger than the Crab have not been found and could have different properties. The search for such nebulae through ultraviolet/optical line emission in core collapse supernovae, or through their X-ray emissio...
