Abstract

With accretion of mass from an evolving companion star, a neutron star can be spun up to an equilibrium period, which is set by the Kepler orbital period at the magnetosphere radius, expressed as a proportional relation between the spin period and magnetic field strength. The spin-up line relationship can be also expressed as a relation between period (P) and period derivative (Ṗ) for the pulsars with dipole radiation. All binary pulsars should lie below the spin-up line, if they accrete the sufficient masses from companions. So, we investigate the distribution of isolated and binary pulsars in the period (P) and magnetic field (B) diagram to see their positions relative to the spin-up line. It is found that the eight binary pulsars (of total 172) are above the spin-up line, thus we analyze their properties and present the possible process of their formations.
