Scientific paper

An old neutron star, being spun up to become a radio pulsar by accretion from a very low-mass He secondary, will ultimately tidally disrupt the secondary before the latter's mass reaches 4×10-3M_sun;. Even if angular momentum loss from the binary is carried away only by gravitational radiation, the formation of an isolated, rapidly spinning pulsar in this way will take less than 1010yr.
