Scientific paper

Global angular momentum balance suggests that the neutron stars in
Be/X-ray binaries are not spinning in equilibrium. This requires an
X-ray lifetime of equal to or less than 100,000 yr, and suggests that
there are many 'dead' Be/X-ray binaries in the Galaxy. Some of these may
be turned up as millisecond radio pulsars with Be star companions.
