Description
The recent discovery of three millisecond pulsars able to alternate a state powered by the rotation of the neutron star magnetic field and a state characterized by the presence of an accretion disk has revealed the existence of an extremely peculiar phase in the evolution of binary pulsars. These pulsars are known as transitional millisecond pulsars. I will present the results of systematic searches aimed at identifying new candidates, describing in particular the results of recent extensive multi-band campaigns that led to the discovery of a new transitional pulsar, CXOU J110926.4-650224
