Caption: Fig. 11.

Plot showing the acceptable range of possible ages for each of 49 pulsars, calculated using the PDF of eq. (34). The horizontal line indicates the interval enclosing 68% of the probability. The cross indicates the median of each PDF, the open circle the mode of the PDF, and the filled circle indicates the spindown age ﹩\tau _{S}\equiv P/2\dot{P}﹩. For the Crab and Vela pulsars, the kinematic age is unconstraining because of their young ages; for them, we show only their spindown times.
