Gamma-ray luminosity L γ vs. the rotational energy-loss rate . Dashed line: L γ equal to . Dot-dashed line: L γ proportional to the square root of . L γ is calculated using a beam correction factor f Ω = 1 for all pulsars and the integral energy flux G 100 from the on-pulse spectral analysis (see Section 2.2), except for PSRs J1836+5925 and J2021+4026, which use the total background-corrected phase-averaged flux, including a relatively bright unpulsed component (see Section 2.2). For the Crab we also plot the total high-energy luminosity, L tot = L X + L γ, indicated by *. Several notable pulsars have been labeled. Blue squares: gamma-ray-selected pulsars. Red triangles: millisecond gamma-ray pulsars. Green circles: all other radio-loud gamma-ray pulsars. Unfilled markers indicate pulsars for which only a DM-based distance estimate is available (see Table 5). Pulsars with two distance estimates have two markers connected with dashed error bars.
