| Abstract |
The suggestion that neutron stars can be formed via accretion-induced collapse of a white dwarf is considered. It is shown that this suggestion is not viable for 4U1626-67 and Her X-1. This leads to the suggestion that some neutron stars may grow old without losing their strong magnetic fields. It implies that there is no observational evidence for the occurrence of accretion-induced collapse in any of the systems for which this process was hitherto suggested.
