Pulsar glitches: A review

S Zhou, E Gügercinoğlu, J Yuan, M Ge, C Yu - Universe, 2022 - mdpi.com
∼ 6% of all known pulsars have been observed to exhibit sudden spin-up events, known as
glitches. For more than fifty years, these phenomena have played an important role in …

Generalized description of neutron star matter with a nucleonic relativistic density functional

P Char, C Mondal, F Gulminelli, M Oertel - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
In this work, we propose a metamodeling technique to nuclear matter on the basis of a
relativistic density functional with density-dependent couplings. Identical density …

Superfluid vortex-mediated mutual friction in non-homogeneous neutron star interiors

M Antonelli, B Haskell - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Understanding the average motion of a multitude of superfluid vortices in the interior of a
neutron star is a key ingredient for most theories of pulsar glitches. In this paper, we propose …

Insights into the physics of neutron star interiors from pulsar glitches

M Antonelli, A Montoli, PM Pizzochero - Astrophysics in the XXI …, 2023 - World Scientific
The presence of superfluid phases in the interior of a neutron star affects its dynamics, as it
allows for neutrons to flow relative to the non-superfluid (normal) components of the star with …

Timing six energetic rotation-powered X-ray pulsars, including the fast-spinning young PSR J0058-7218 and Big Glitcher PSR J0537-6910

WCG Ho, L Kuiper, CM Espinoza, S Guillot… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Measuring a pulsar's rotational evolution is crucial to understanding the nature of the pulsar.
Here, we provide updated timing models for the rotational evolution of six pulsars, five of …

Continuous gravitational wave emissions from neutron stars with pinned superfluids in the core

B Haskell, M Antonelli, P Pizzochero - Universe, 2022 - mdpi.com
We investigate the effect of a pinned superfluid component on the gravitational wave
emissions of a rotating neutron star. The pinning of superfluid vortices to the flux-tubes in the …

An updated glitch rate law inferred from radio pulsars

M Millhouse, A Melatos, G Howitt… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Radio pulsar glitches probe far-from-equilibrium processes involving stress accumulation
and relaxation in neutron star interiors. Previous studies of glitch rates have focused on …

Bayesian estimate of the superfluid moments of inertia from the 2016 glitch in the Vela pulsar

A Montoli, M Antonelli, F Magistrelli… - Astronomy & …, 2020 - aanda.org
Context. The observation of the first pulse-to-pulse glitch in the Vela pulsar opens a new
window among theoretical speculations on the internal dynamics of neutron stars as it …

Gravitational waves from glitch-induced -mode oscillations in quark and neutron stars

OH Wilson, WCG Ho - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
Matter in compact stars is dense enough that transient events within the star could have
sufficiently high energies to produce detectable gravitational waves (GWs). These GWs …
