Scientific paper

The authors suggest that accretion-induced collapse of white dwarfs in binaries can form millisecond pulsars directly, without requiring a precursor low-mass X-ray binary stage. Ablation of the pre-collapse binary companion by the millisecond pulsar's radiation field, a process invoked to explain some of the characteristics of the recently discovered eclipsing millisecond pulsar, can then yield isolated neutron stars without requiring an additional stellar encounter.
