Relaxation of magnetically-confined mountains on accreting neutron stars through cross-field mass transport

Ryan Brunet, Andrew Melatos, Pedro Rossetto

Hydromagnetic instabilities modify the structure of a magnetically confined mountain on an accreting neutron star, once the accreted mass exceeds a critical value. Ideal magnetohyd…

First results from the UTMOST-NS pulsar timing programme

L. Dunn, C. Flynn, M. Bailes +6

The UTMOST-NS pulsar timing programme operated at the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope from April 2021 to June 2023, observing 173 pulsars with an average cadence of 50 pul…

Flux tube clustering from magnetic coupling of adjacent type-I and -II superconductors in a neutron star: persistent gravitational radiation

K. H. Thong, A. Melatos

Adjacent type-I and -II proton superconductors in a rotation-powered pulsar are predicted to exist in a metastable state containing macroscopic and quantized flux tubes, respective…

Magnetic coupling through flux branching of adjacent type-I and -II superconductors in a neutron star

K. H. Thong, A. Melatos

The inner and outer cores of neutron stars are believed to contain type-I and -II proton superconductors, respectively. The type-I superconductor exists in an intermediate state, c…

Stability of interlinked neutron vortex and proton flux-tube arrays in a neutron star -- III. Proton feedback

K. H. Thong, A. Melatos, L. V. Drummond

The coupled, time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii and Ginzburg-Landau equations are solved simultaneously in three dimensions to investigate the equilibrium state and far-from-equilibri…

A new small glitch in Vela discovered with a hidden Markov model

L. Dunn, A. Melatos, C. M. Espinoza +2

A striking feature of the Vela pulsar (PSR J08354510) is that it undergoes sudden increases in its spin frequency, known as glitches, with a fractional amplitude on the order of…
