Neutrino rocket model to explain the origin of high-velocity pulsars - Phys.org

The first pulsar was discovered in 1967. With an increase in pulsar observations, astronomers have found that some pulsars have a proper motion velocity greater than 1000 km/s, and the number of such pulsars is growing each year.

The spin-down rate of the observed pulsars, , vs. their spin period, P. The dots in blue, green, and red stand for normal pulsars, pulsars in binary systems, and magnetars with a magnetic field B >… [+3079 chars]
