The Period-Age Distribution of Pulsars
Abstract
A recently proposed model of pulsars leads to a constraint on the values of period T and "age" r [= T(dT/dt)-1] of radio-emitting neutron stars and a similar constraint for optically emitting neutron stars. These constraints compare satisfactorily with available data.
