James Charbonneau, Kelsey Hoffman, Jeremy Heyl
We show that kicks generated by topological currents may be responsible for the large velocities seen in a number of pulsars. The majority of the kick builds up within the first se…

Observational Consequences of Topological Currents in Neutron Stars
James Charbonneau
We argue that topological vector currents may be the source of many phenomena in neutron stars: kicks, jets, toroidal fields and magnetic helicity. Topological vector currents exis…
