Precession of isolated neutron stars I: Effects of imperfect pinning
arXiv:astro-ph/9801188 · doi:10.1086/307777
Abstract
We consider the precession of isolated neutron stars in which superfluid is not pinned to the stellar crust perfectly. In the case of perfect pinning, Shaham (1977) showed that there are no slowly oscillatory, long-lived modes. When the assumption of perfect pinning is relaxed, new modes are found that can be long-lived, but are expected to be damped rather than oscillatory, unless the drag force on moving superfluid vortex lines has a substantial component perpendicular to the direction of relative motion. The response of a neutron star to external torques, such as the spindown torque, is also treated. We find that when computing the response of a star to perturbations, assuming perfect coupling of superfluid to normal matter from the start can miss some effects.
