A strong $\ddot{\nu }-\dot{\nu }$ correlation in radio pulsars with implications for torque variations

J. O. Urama, B. Link, J. M. Weisberg

We present an analysis of the spin-down parameters for 131 radio pulsars for which $\ddot{\nu }$ has been well determined. These pulsars have characteristic ages ranging from $10^{3} -…
