The recycling model argues the existence of an evolutionary connection between low mass X-ray binaries and radio millisecond pulsars. The main difficulties which this model finds in predict the parameters of the fully recycled millisecond pulsars, as mass and spin period, can be overcome by the onset of the so-called radio-ejection mechanism. This work is to provide observational support to the radio-ejection mechanism by inspecting the orbital and spin parameters of the known population of fully recycled radio pulsars and compare these with the expectation for the occurrence of this mechanism.

Abstract
The recycling model argues the existence of an evolutionary connection between low mass X-ray binaries and radio millisecond pulsars. The main difficulties which this model finds in predict the parameters of the fully recycled millisecond pulsars, as mass and spin period, can be overcome by the onset of the so-called radio-ejection mechanism. This work is to provide observational support to the radio-ejection mechanism by inspecting the orbital and spin parameters of the known population of fully recycled radio pulsars and compare these with the expectation for the occurrence of this mechanism.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
