Formation of PSR J1012+5307 with an Extremely Low-mass White Dwarf: Testing Magnetic Braking Models

PSR J1012+5307 is a millisecond pulsar with an extremely low-mass white dwarf (WD) companion in an orbit of 14.5 hr. Magnetic braking (MB) plays an important role in influencing the orbital evolution of binary systems with a low-mass (≲1–2 M _⊙ ) donor star. At present, there exist several different...
