The gravitational wave radiation will release the energy momentum, which will dissipate the rotation of neutron star while in the accretion process. If the deformation of star is known, then we can estimate the maximum spin frequency of pulsar, based on which we can interpret why the spin periods of all millisecond pulsars cannot be less than one millisecond.
