The diffusion of these fields outside the core causes the growth of the external magnetic field and thus it affects the evolution of the spin down rates $\\dot{P}$ of the millisecond pulsars (MSPs). The diffusion of the internal magnetic field provides a new evolutionary path for the MSPs. This scenario could explain the large $\\dot{P}$ of the pulsars J1823-3021A and J1824-2452A.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2012-07-23T11:28:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "accreting millisecond pulsars", "generate strong magnetic fields", "accreting millisecond neutron stars", "internal magnetic field", "external magnetic field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1093/mnras/sts134", "journal": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "year": 2013, "month": "Jan", "volume": 428, "number": 2, "pages": 1438 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1092795, "adsabs": "2013MNRAS.428.1438C" } } }
