Formation of millisecond pulsars - NS initial mass and EOS constraints    [PDF]

M. Bejger, M. Fortin, P. Haensel, J. L. Zdunik
Recent measurement of a high millisecond pulsar mass (PSR J1614-2230, 1.97+-0.04 Msun) compared with the low mass of PSR J0751+1807 (1.26+-0.14 Msun) indicates a large span of masses of recycled pulsars and suggests a broad range of neutron stars masses at birth. We aim at reconstructing the pre-accretion masses for these pulsars while taking into account interaction of the magnetic field with a thin accretion disk, magnetic field decay and relativistic 2D solutions for stellar configurations for a set of equations of state. We briefly discuss the evolutionary scenarios leading to the formation of these neutron stars and study the influence of the equation of state.
