[Auszug] Pulsars are assumed to spin down according to the relation v = -Kvn, where v is the rotation rate, n is the braking index and K depends on the magnetic moment and moment of inertia of the neutron star. On the assumption that it had a very high initial rotation rate, the age of the pulsar is T = ...
