Typical period and surface magnetic field strength of millisecond pulsars, young pulsars, and magnetars.

Neutron star P* (s) log B* (T) log aB log aE −log b
Millisecond 0.005 5 13.1 / 9.9 / 9.5 11.8 / 8.6 / 8.2 20.1 / 23.4 / 22.5
Young 1 8 18.4 / 15.2 / 14.8 14.8 / 11.6 / 11.2 22.4 / 25.7 / 24.8
Magnetar 10 10 21.4 / 18.2 / 17.8 16.8 / 13.6 / 13.2 23.4 / 26.7 / 25.8

Notes. The relevant parameters without dimension are given by the strength parameters for the magnetic field aB and for the electric field aE and the damping parameter b for electrons / protons / iron nuclei.
