With what objects do many of the millisecond pulsars appear to be associated, and what does this tell us about their age?

What will be an ideal response?


Many lie in globular clusters, which are very old. Because the globular clusters are also crowded, the chance of close binary mass transfers is also greater, which may explain how the old neutrons stars are sped back up in spin.
