Scientific paper

Neutron stars for which the ratio of kinetic to gravitational potential energy exceeds approximately 0.08 are likely to be unstable and to spin down by gravitational wave-driven oscillations. A class of pulsars with nearly identical frequencies may thus result from the collapse of accreting, rapidly rotating white dwarfs. It is likely that the fast pulsar PSR 1937 + 214 rotates more slowly than this, but the question remains open, partly because of uncertainty in the equation of state.
