The brightness and linear polarization of pulsars

[ZX.Liang]

I have a question to ask everyone.

Is there a positive correlation between the linear polarization degree of pulsars and their brightness in statistics? Or, is it true that the brighter the pulsar, the greater the linear polarization component?

Pulsars are all about the same size so their brightness I expect depends mainly on their temperature, which decreases slowly with age. I dunno about polarization.

Not long ago, we published a new pulsar radiation model at MNRAS (https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae909).
According to our model, it is speculated that the linear polarization component of pulsars should be statistically positively correlated with theirs brightness. But we don't know if anyone has conducted statistical research in this area. So I would like to ask if anyone has seen any reports on this topic.
