Magnetic field and spin period evolutionary tracks. In (a) tracks are plotted for different initial magnetic fields: G (solid line), G (dash line), and G (dot line), at fixed initial spin period s and accretion rate . In (b) with different initial periods,  s (dotted line), s (dashed line), and s (solid line), at fixed initial field G and accretion rate .
