  • Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are recycled pulsars which have been spun-up due to mass accretion during the phase of mass exchange in binaries. Although the interactions with companion stars play important roles on the spin-up process, the global properties of pulsars determined by the equation of state (EoS), such as mass, radius and the moment of inertia, should also play a role. We investigate the spin-up of MSPs in neutron star (NS) and strangeon star (SS) models, both of which have passed the tests by the existence of high-mass pulsars and the tidal deformability of GW~170817. Combining the spin-up condition and the transferred angular momentum, and taking into account the evolution of magnetic field strength during accretion, we can constrain the spin-period and mass of an MSP. Our results show that the impeding effect of magnetic field on the spin-up of MSPs would be more significant for NSs than for SSs, especially for the ones with low masses. In the low-mass ($M$ below or around about $1.2 M_\odot$) case, an SS can spin faster than an NS of the same mass by accreting the same amount of mass. Finding more low-mass and fully recycled MSPs, with accurate mass-measurement and better constraints on the amount of accreted mass, could help to put more strict constraints on the EoS of pulsars.
