Scientific paper

Implications for the newly discovered eclipsing millisecond pulsar PSR 1957+20, Cyg X-3, and the statistics of LMXB's versus galactic millisecond pulsars are discussed. The evolution of Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXB's) may be influenced by radiation produced by the primary star during the accretion and post-accretion phases. If the companion star is illuminated during the accretion phase by a relatively large flux of X-rays and/or 1 MeV gamma rays, an evaporative mass can self-sustain accretion at a rate close to the primary's Eddington limit until a sudden accretion turn-off occurs.
