On the Bottom Magnetic Fields of the Millisecond Pulsars

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The magnetic field strengths of most millisecond pulsars(MSP) are about 108910^{8-9} Gauss. The accretion induced magnetic field evolution scenario here concludes that the field decay is invesely related to the accreted mass and the minimum field or bottom field stops at about 10810^{8} Gauss if accreted with the Eddington accretion rate, which is proportionally related with the accretion rate as M˙1/2\dot{M}^{1/2}. The possibility of the low field 107\sim 10^{7} Gauss MSPs has been proposed for the future radio observation.
