Notes. For PSR J1906+0746, the lifetime is shorter than the merger time due to it crossing the pulsar deadline in ∼60 Myr.
Beaming fractions obtained from Table 2 in Kim et al. (2015).
Beaming fraction set to 1.0 as we implement explicit modelling of its variation in time. See Grunthal et al. (2021) for more details.
