Anti-glitches in accreting pulsars from superfluid vortex avalanches
G. Howitt, A. Melatos
Three sudden spin-down events, termed `anti-glitches', were recently discovered in the accreting pulsar NGC 300 ULX-1 by the \textit{Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer} (NI…
An updated glitch rate law inferred from radio pulsars
Margaret Millhouse, Andrew Melatos, George Howitt +3
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…
Rapid stellar and binary population synthesis with COMPAS
Team COMPAS, :, Jeff Riley +23
Compact Object Mergers: Population Astrophysics and Statistics (COMPAS; https://compas.science) is a public rapid binary population synthesis code. COMPAS generates populations of…
Neutron Star Extreme Matter Observatory: A kilohertz-band gravitational-wave detector in the global network
K. Ackley, V. B. Adya, P. Agrawal +160
Gravitational waves from coalescing neutron stars encode information about nuclear matter at extreme densities, inaccessible by laboratory experiments. The late inspiral is influen…
Luminous Red Novae: population models and future prospects
George Howitt, Simon Stevenson, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez +5
A class of optical transients known as Luminous Red Novae (LRNe) have recently been associated with mass ejections from binary stars undergoing common-envelope evolution. We use th…
Common-Envelope Episodes that lead to Double Neutron Star formation
Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Morgan MacLeod, Coenraad J. Neijssel +6
Close double neutron stars have been observed as Galactic radio pulsars, while their mergers have been detected as gamma-ray bursts and gravitational-wave sources. They are believe…
Nonparametric estimation of the size and waiting time distributions of pulsar glitches
G. Howitt, A. Melatos, A. Delaigle
Glitch size and waiting time probability density functions (PDFs) are estimated for the five pulsars that have glitched most using the nonparametric kernel density estimator. Two o…
Hydrodynamic simulations of pulsar glitch recovery
G. Howitt, B. Haskell, A. Melatos
Glitches are sudden jumps in the spin frequency of pulsars believed to originate in the superfluid interior of neutron stars. Superfluid flow in a model neutron star is simulated b…
