Scientific paper

Millisecond pulsars, both during and after accretion, stand a class apart from the general pulsar population due to the much weaker field strength at their surface. The prevailing view is that accretion of matter on to a neutron star causes a decay of its magnetic field strength, as viewed by an external observer. In this paper we review some of the promising mechanisms that may be responsible for such decay.
