Scientific paper

We review recent results of our group on X-ray timing of accreting millisecond pulsars in LMXBs. The good quality of the RXTE data allow us to obtain information on the behavior of a very fast pulsar subject to accretion torques. We find both spin-up and spin-down behaviors, from which, using available models for the accretion torques, we derive, in most cases, information on the mass accretion rate and magnetic field strength of the neutron star in these systems. For some sources the phase delays behavior as a function of time is quite complex and difficult to interpret, since abrupt phase shifts are sometime present which are most probably driven by variations of the X-ray flux.
