Cumulative distributions of radio luminosity for Galactic pulsars (gray circles) and MC pulsars (orange triangles) at 1400 MHz. The ordinate shows the number of pulsars with luminosities greater than L₁₄₀₀. The dashed lines represent power-law fits to the high-luminosity tails (L₁₄₀₀ > 125 mJy kpc² for Galactic pulsars), with slopes of α = −1.30 ± 0.01 for the Galactic pulsars (N = 2448) and α = −1.20 ± 0.02 for the MC pulsars (N = 55). While all data points are shown, only those above the luminosity threshold were included in the fits.
