A magnetized neutron star may appear as a radio pulsar or an X-ray source. The latter is connected with a binary system where accretion from a normal star onto the neutron star produces X-ray emission. At the end of the evolution of a normal non-massive star, accretion stops and the neutron star becomes a recycled radio pulsar. Further evolution may lead to an additional transition from a radio pulsar to a low mass X-ray binary (LMXB). The formation of a single recycled pulsar is considered and a new mechanism of “enhanced evaporation” in globular clusters is analyzed.
