Abstract | We present timing solutions of PSR B0950+08, using 14 years of observations from the Nanshan 26-m Radio Telescope of Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory. The braking index of PSR B0950+08 varies from -367 392 to 168 883, which shows an oscillation with large amplitude (similar to 10(5)) and uncertainty. Considering the variation of braking indices and the most probable kinematic age of PSR B0950+08, a model with long-term magnetic field decay modulated by short-term oscillations is proposed to explain the timing data. With this magnetic field decay model, we discuss the spin and thermal evolution of PSR B0950+08. The uncertainties of its age are also considered. The results show that three-component oscillations are the more reasonable for the spin-frequency derivative distributions of PSR B0950+08, and the initial spin period of PSR B0950+08 must be shorter than 97 ms when the age is equal to the lower bound of its kinematic age. The standard cooling model could explain the surface temperature of PSR B0950+08 with its most probable kinematic age. Vortex creep heating with a long-term magnetic field decay could maintain a relatively high temperature at the later stages of evolution and explain the thermal emission data of old and warm pulsars. Coupling with the long-term magnetic field decay, an explanation of the temperature of PSR B0950+08 with roto-chemical heating needs an implausibly short initial rotation period (P-0 less than or similar to 17ms). The spin and thermal evolution of pulsars should be studied simultaneously. Future timing, ultraviolet or X-ray observations are essential for studying the evolution and interior properties of pulsars. |
