Abstract: Millisecond pulsars are neutron stars that attain their very fast rotation during a 108–109-yr-long phase of disk accretion of matter from a low-mass companion star1,2. They can be detected as accretion-powered millisecond X-ray pulsars if… read more here.

Abstract: Transitional millisecond pulsars (tMSPs) are neutron star systems that alternate between a rotation-powered radio millisecond pulsar state and an accretion disc-dominated low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB)-like state on multi-year time-scales. During the LMXB-like state, the X-ray… read more here.
