Abstract
The spin periods of accreting neutron stars in binary systems with Be star primaries are shown to depend more strongly on periastron distance than apastron distance. This is interpreted as showing that neutron stars spin-up on shorter timescales than they spin-down. The pulse and orbital periods of V 0332+53 suggest that the optical counterpart of this source is a Be star.
