Precession and glitches in the framework of three-component model of neutron star

Abstract

We consider the pulsar rotation assuming that the neutron star consists of crust component (which rotation is observed) and two core components. One of the core components contains pinned superfluid which can, for some reasons, suddenly inject small fraction of stored angular momentum in it. In the framework of this simple model the star can demonstrate glitch-like events together with long period precession (with period $1-10^4$ years).
