Could acceleration of a pulsar affect braking index?

Abstract In the coming era of multi-messenger astrophysics, pulsars might be one of the most possible electromagnetic counterparts of the gravitational wave. The braking indices, which are related closely to the electromagnetic radiation of pulsars, are shown to be larger for the pulsars with compan...
