Scientific paper

We analyse the evolution of periods of the observed population of radio pulsars from their birth up to the present time assuming that pulsars lose rotational energy in emission of electromagnetic dipole and gravitational radiation. We consider the hypothesis that all pulsars are born with the same period close to 10 ms. We found strong correlation between the ellipticity of pulsars and their surface magnetic field. Such correlation is expected if the deformation of the pulsar shape is due to the strong magnetic field.
