We investigate the radius of the recycled pulsar in double pulsar PSR J0737-3039. In the standard accretion spin-up model, the recycled pulsar spin up continues until arriving at a minimum spin period, or so-called “equilibrium period”, which is related to stellar magnetic field, accretion rate, mass and radius. If present spin period is much longer than that at birth, the spin-down age can give the realistic true age estimation for normal pulsar J0737-3039B. Base on the above conditions, we estimate the radius of millisecond pulsar (MSP) J0737-3039A by assuming its true age is same as the spin-down age of its companion J0737-3039B. We obtained that the radius of J0737-3039A ranges approximately from 5 to 27 km.
