Notes. The columns summarise the inferred parameters, the number of training simulations used in the first round, the input maps representing each simulated neutron star population, and the inference targets for each experiment, respectively. For the inferred parameters, we denote those related to the magneto-rotational evolution (i.e., initial period, magnetic field distribution, and late-time magnetic field decay) as ‘mag-rot’ and those related to the luminosity as ‘lum’. Experiments 1 to 3 are test experiments used to assess the quality of the TSNPE methodology for our pulsar population synthesis. In bold, we highlight Experiment 4, which provides the main results of this work.
