Microscopic calculation of the pinning energy of a vortex in the inner crust of a neutron star
P. Klausner, F. Barranco, P. M. Pizzochero +2
The structure of a vortex in the inner crust of a pulsar is calculated microscopically in the Wigner-Seitz cell approximation, simulating the conditions of the inner crust of a col…
Insights into the physics of neutron star interiors from pulsar glitches
Marco Antonelli, Alessandro Montoli, Pierre Pizzochero
The presence of superfluid phases in the interior of a neutron star affects its dynamics, as neutrons can flow relative to the non-superfluid (normal) components of the star with l…
Continuous gravitational wave emission from neutron stars with pinned superfluids in the core
Brynmor Haskell, Marco Antonelli, Pierre Pizzochero
We investigate the effect of a pinned superfluid component on the gravitational wave emission of a rotating neutron star. Pinning of superfluid vortices to the flux-tubes in the ou…
Two decades of X-ray observations of the isolated neutron star RX J1856.5-3754: detection of thermal and non-thermal hard X-rays and refined spin-down measurement
Davide De Grandis, Michela Rigoselli, Sandro Mereghetti +6
The soft X-ray pulsar RX J1856.5-3754 is the brightest member of a small class of thermally-emitting, radio-silent, isolated neutron stars. Its X-ray spectrum is almost indistingui…
Statistical estimates of the pulsar glitch activity
Alessandro Montoli, Marco Antonelli, Brynmor Haskell +1
A common way to calculate the glitch activity of a pulsar is an ordinary linear regression of the observed cumulative glitch history. This method however is likely to underestimate…
Bayesian estimate of the superfluid moments of inertia from the 2016 glitch in the Vela pulsar
Alessandro Montoli, Marco Antonelli, Fabio Magistrelli +1
The observation of the first pulse-to-pulse glitch in the Vela pulsar opens a new window on the internal dynamics of neutron stars. We study the minimal three-component model for p…
