Non-Recycled Pulsars in Globular Clusters

TL;DR

This paper estimates the population and birth rates of non-recycled pulsars in globular clusters using statistical simulations, providing insights into their numbers and potential contribution to the Galactic field.

Contribution

It introduces a novel statistical approach to constrain the population and birth rates of non-recycled pulsars in globular clusters.

Findings

Upper limits on non-recycled pulsar birth rates in clusters

Predictions of remaining pulsars within clusters

Estimates of pulsars escaping into the Galaxy

Abstract

We place limits on the population of non-recycled pulsars originating in globular clusters through Monte Carlo simulations and frequentist statistical techniques. We set upper limits on the birth rates of non-recycled cluster pulsars and predict how many may remain in the clusters, and how many may escape the cluster potentials and enter the field of the Galaxy.
