Stellar Forensics II: Millisecond Pulsar Binaries | | Brad M. S. Hansen

29 Aug 1997 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Affiliation: | 1,2) and E. Sterl Phinney ( Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics, University of Toronto, Theoretical Astrophysics, California Institute of Technology | | Abstract: | We use the grid of models described in paper~I to analyse those millisecond pulsar binaries whose secondaries have been studied optically. In particular, we find cooling ages for these binary systems that range from $< 1
m Gyr$ to $sim
m 15 Gyr$. Comparison of cooling ages and characteristic spin down ages allows us to constrain the initial spin periods and spin-up histories for individual systems, showing that at least some millisecond pulsars had sub-Eddington accretion rates and long magnetic field decay times. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/9708274 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
