Integrated Radio Luminosities of Pulsars

The luminosities are in the range 10^27^-10^30^erg/s for 88% of the long-period pulsars and 10^28^-10^31^erg/s for 88% of the short-period pulsars. We find a high correlation between the luminosity L and the estimate L1=S_(400)_*d^2^ from the catalog of Taylor et al. (1993, See Cat. <VII/189>.

The factor 'eta' for transformation of the rotational energy of the neutron star into radio emission increases/decreases with increasing period for long-period/short-period pulsars. The mean value of 'eta'=-3.73 for the long-period and -4.85 for the short-period pulsars.
