Abstract:

The existence of pulsars with spin period below one millisecond is expected, though they have not been detected up to now. Their formation depends on the quantity of matter accreted from the companion which, in turn, is limited by the mechanism of mass ejection from the binary. Mass ejection must be efficient, at least in some cases, in order to produce the observed population of moderately fast spinning millisecond pulsars. First we demonstrate, in the framework of the widely accepted recycl...
