In this Letter we re-examine the idea that gravitational waves are required as a braking mechanism to explain the observed maximum spin-frequency of neutron stars. We show that for millisecond X-ray pulsars, the existence of spin equilibrium as set by the disk/magnetosphere interaction is sufficient to explain the observations. We show as well that no clear correlation exists between the neutron star magnetic field B and the X-ray outburst luminosity Lx when considering an enlarged sample size of millisecond X-ray pulsars.

Particle Probes with Superradiant Pulsars
The existence of PSR J1748-2446ad and PSR B1937+21 excludes ultralight scalars coupled to neutrons with masses near 10^-11 eV at couplings as small as 10^-6 times gravity.
