We find that one such physical parameter is the surface magnetic field strength. Even though the average spin-periods do not differ much the average surface magnetic field is 2-5 times larger in the globular cluster pulsars. This effect could be apparent, arising due to one or more of several biases. Alternatively, if future observations confirm this effect to be real, then this could be interpreted as a preferential recycling of pulsars in tight binaries where the mass transfer takes place at high accretion rates.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-11-16T02:56:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "millisecond pulsars", "surface magnetic field strength", "average surface magnetic field", "high accretion rates", "globular cluster pulsars" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.17301.x", "journal": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "year": 2010, "month": "Nov", "volume": 409, "number": 1, "pages": 259 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 861088, "adsabs": "2010MNRAS.409..259K" } } }
