Abstract
The evolution of a neutron star entering a low-mass binary system is s tudied in the frame of the so called ''standard'' evolutionary model. We consider the evolution under the assumption that the magnetic field is of crustal origin. It is shown that millisecond pulsars can be for med in a natural way from neutron stars with more or less typical para meters in the course of evolution of such systems.
