Indirect evidence for an active radio pulsar in SAX J1808.4-3658 during quiescence
Millisecond radio pulsars are neutron stars that have been spun-up by the transfer of angular momentum during the low-mass X-ray binary phase. The transition from an accretion-powered to a rotation-powered pulsar takes place on evolutionary timescales at the end of the accretion process, however it may also occur sporadically in systems undergoing
