Abstract

A simple and natural explanation for the minimum period of millisecond pulsars follows from a correlation between the accretion rate and the frozen surface dipole magnetic field resulting from ohmic diffusion through the neutron star crust in initial stages of accretion in low-mass X-ray binaries.
