Could the low braking index pulsar PSR J1734-3333 evolve into a magnetar?
Abstract
The low braking-index pulsar PSR J17343333 could be born with superhigh internal magnetic fields G, and undergo a supercritical accretion soon after its formation in a supernova explosion. The buried multipole magnetic fields will merger into a dipole magnetic field. Since the magnetic flow transfers from the core to the crust of the pulsar, its surface dipole field grows quickly at a power-law form assumed until it saturates at the level of internal dipole field. The increase in surface dipole magnetic field results in the observed low braking index of . Keeping an average field growth index , this pulsar will become a magnetar with surface dipole magnetic field at the equator \,G and \,G after next 50\,kyrs and 100\,kys, respectively.
