Minimum accretion rate for millisecond pulsar formation in binary system

Abstract 186 binary pulsars are shown in the magnetic field versus spin period (B-P) diagram, and their relations to the millisecond pulsars can be clearly seen. We declaim a minimum accretion rate for the millisecond pulsar formation both from the observation and theory. If the accretion rate is lower than the minimum accretion rate, the pulsar in binary system will not become a millisecond pulsar after the evolution.
