Braking Index Of Isolated Pulsars According To The Relativistic Plasma Diffusion Theory For Pulsar Fields

The braking index of a pulsar is expected to be 3 if it slows down under ordinaryrnmagnetic dipole radiation . However, measured braking indices of young as wellrnas old pulsars are experimentally determined to be different from the above value.rnSometimes these get to large positive and negative numbers.rnThis is something that is not well understood. We will describe pulsar brakingrnindex variations based on Relativistic plasma diffusion theory which is currently developedrnby us. Using this theory we will calculate the braking indices of four-youngrnwell known pulsars and two old pulsars.rnIt is also important to establish whether the observed(measured ) braking indexrnriots is time dependent . We will also derive braking indices of three pulsars as arnfunction of time and draw the graphs to show the time evolution of braking index
