Long-term evolution of spin and other properties of neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries: implications for millisecond X-ray pulsars

Abhijnan Kar, Pulkit Ojha, Sudip Bhattacharyya

A neutron star (NS) accreting matter from a companion star in a low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) system can spin up to become a millisecond pulsar (MSP). Properties of many such MSP sy…
