Formation of Millisecond Pulsars with Low-Mass Helium White Dwarf Companions in Very Compact Binaries

Kun Jia, Xiang-Dong Li

Binary millisecond pulsars (BMSPs) are thought to have evolved from low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). If the mass transfer in LMXBs is driven by nuclear evolution of the donor star,…
