Discovery of Two High Magnetic Field Radio Pulsars

Abstract

We report the discovery of two young isolated radio pulsars with very high inferred magnetic Ðelds. PSR J1119[6127 has period P \ 0.407 s, and the largest period derivative known among radio pulsars, Under standard assumptions these parameters imply a characteristic spin-down age of P0 \ 4.0 ] 10~12. only kyr and a surface dipole magnetic Ðeld strength of B \ 4.
