Abstract
The discovery of three coherently pulsing ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) with short periodicities (∼ 1 s), such as NuSTAR J095551+6940.8, suggests that many ULXs harbour neutron stars. Their extremely high spin-up rates suggests a new channel of millisecond pulsar formation, by neutron star spin up in high-mass X-ray binaries.
