home page, Evolution of Accreting Binary Systems on the Spin-up Line

The measured characteristics of binary pulsars provide valuable insights into the evolution of these systems. We study the aspects of binary evolution particularly relevant to binary Millisecond Pulsars (MSPs), and the formation of close binaries involving degenerate stars through a spin-evolution diagram (spin-up line). For this task, we use a wide variety of binaries, including those with compact components that observed in different energy bands, which we analyze them according to the spin-up line. Their formation and evolution over timescales of binary evolution models are investigated in order to grab any constraint on their evolution, and to estimate the masses of neutron stars with different mass-transfer histories
