Galactic RMSPs | 128 | 262 | 267 | 141 | RMSPs in the Galactic field |
cluster RMSPs | 71 | 277 | 276 | 138 | RMSPs of globular clusters |
eclipsing RMSPs | 42 | 367 | 377 | 154 | RMSPs whose radio-pulsed emission is irregularly eclipsed |
non-eclipsing RMSPs | 157 | 242 | 252 | 122 | RMSPs whose radio-pulsed emission is not eclipsed |
LMXBs | 25 | 413 | 401 | 150 | All accretion-powered pulsars (accreting MSPs + nuclear MSPs) |
accreting MSPs | 15 | 353 | 377 | 140 | Accreting millisecond pulsars (X-ray coherent oscillations) |
nuclear MSPs | 10 | 502 | 552 | 123 | Nuclear-powered millisecond pulsars (only X-ray burst oscillations) |

Notes. Number of objects, mean, median and standard deviation, of the spin frequency distributions of the considered classes of rotation and accretion-powered millisecond pulsars (P< 30 ms) in binary systems. IGR J18245−2452 is counted as both an eclipsing- and an accreting MSP.
