From the list of observed and derived parameters of 330 pulsars published by Manchester and Taylor (1981), we have selected sixteen “standard” pulsars whose position and radio luminosity fit well a statistical relation found by Antonello and Fracassini (1984). This relation shows also that these pulsars may be considered as probes of the galactic places where the observed 408 MHz continuum background temperature, T408, and the computed electron densities, ne, of the interstellar medium, ISM, are best correlated.
