Millisecond spinning, low magnetic field neutron stars are believed to attain their fast rotation in a 0. 1-1 Gyr-long phase during which they accrete matter endowed with angular momentum from a low-mass companion star.

HERMES-TP/SP (High Energy Rapid Modular Ensemble of Satellites Technologic and Scientific Pathfinder) is a constellation of six 3U nano-satellites hosting simple but innovative X-ray detectors, characterized by a large energy band and excellent temporal resolution, and thus optimized for the monitoring of Cosmic High Energy transients such as Gamma Ray Bursts and the electromagnetic counterparts of Gravitational Wave Events, and for the determination of their positions.
