Abstract:Pulsars are stars whose electromagnetic radiation is observed to pulsate in well-defined time intervals while they rotate as long as the electromagnetic signal is not emitted in the direction of the rotation axis. The frequencies of the pulses decay with time as quantified by the braking index (n). In the canonical model, n = 3 for all pulsars, but observational data yield n < 3. In this work, this model is modified to allow time change in the moment of inertia. According to that model, as the neutron star los… Show more
