dimensionless exponent linking a pulsar's spin-down rate to its spin frequency, equal to three for pure magnetic dipole braking.

In astrophysics, pulsar braking index refers to dimensionless exponent linking a pulsar's spin-down rate to its spin frequency, equal to three for pure magnetic dipole braking. This meaning comes from Ostriker (1969) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
