Scientific paper

The authors investigate the evolution of magnetic fields of neutron stars in $'wide' low-mass binary systems due to the spin-down of the neutron star, resulting from an interaction with the stellar wind of the companion. They construct models with a range of donor masses, orbital periods, mass-loss rates, and assumed Ohmic decay timescales in the crust, and compute the final magnetic field strengths of the neutron stars. It is found that the magnetic fields of millisecond pulsars, as well as other low-mass binary pulsars may be well accounted for by this mechanism if the Ohmic decay timescale at the bottom of a neutron star crust is ≡109years.
