説明

<jats:title>From X-ray Binary to Pulsar</jats:title> <jats:p> Pulsars with millisecond rotational periods are thought to originate from neutron stars in low-mass x-ray binaries that had their spin frequencies increased by long-lasting mass transfer from their companion stars. Using data from a radio pulsar survey, <jats:bold> Archibald <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> </jats:bold> (p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" page="1411" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="324" xlink:href="10.1126/science.1172740">1411</jats:related-article> , published online 21 May; see the Perspective by <jats:bold> <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" page="1396" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="324" xlink:href="10.1126/science.1175012">Kramer</jats:related-article> </jats:bold> ) found a neutron star in a low-mass X-ray binary that is in the process of turning into a radio millisecond pulsar. The system, which consists of a solar-like star and a 1.69-millisecond radio pulsar, has gone through a recent accretion phase, characteristic of low-mass X-ray binaries, but it shows no accretion disk anymore, confirming the evolutionary connection between millisecond radio pulsars and low-mass X-ray binaries. </jats:p>
