On a theoretical interpretation of the period gap in binary millisecond pulsars.
TAAM R.E., KING A.R. and RITTER H.
Abstract (from CDS):
We discuss the importance of a phase of nonconservative evolution where mass and angular momentum can be lost from the system through the ejection of matter from accretion disks around the neutron stars in these systems. This leads to a dependence of pulsar mass on evolutionary history. In particular, most low-mass X-ray binaries with orbital periods of ≳2 days are probably transient; the super-Eddington accretion rates likely during outbursts mean that the neutron stars in such systems gain relatively little mass.
