Abstract
Following up on an earlier paper on the local pulsar population (Blaauw 1985; Paper I), in which it was shown that the majority of their progenitors must be sought among the local field stars between 6 and 10 solar masses (types B2, B3) - the local OB associations accounting for a minority only of the pulsar population - we consider implications of two further restrictions: raising the lower limiting mass for neutron star formation, Mn, above 6 solar masses, and raising the beaming factor, f, above 0.3.
