Scaling from Jupiter to pulsars and mass spectrum of pulsarsFollowing the principle of similitude, the energy loss of Jupiter was scaled through the acceleration of high energy particles to that of Crab pulsar. The agreement suggests a classification scheme for all pulsars in which the pulsar angular velocity and its decrease with time are related to the pulsar moment of inertia divided by its radius and its mass is determined according to neutron star models. The mass spectrum of 194 pulsars is found to be approximately 1/sq m.
