Axially symmetric equations for differential pulsar rotation with superfluid entrainment

Marco Antonelli, Pierre Pizzochero

In this article we present an analytical two-component model for pulsar rotational dynamics. Under the assumption of axial symmetry, implemented by a paraxial array of straight vor…

Mesoscopic pinning forces in neutron star crusts

Stefano Seveso, Pierre M. Pizzochero, Fabrizio Grill +1

The crust of a neutron star is thought to be comprised of a lattice of nuclei immersed in a sea of free electrons and neutrons. As the neutrons are superfluid their angular momentu…

Investigating superconductivity in neutron star interiors with glitch models

Brynmor Haskell, Pierre M. Pizzochero, Stefano Seveso

The high density interior of a neutron star is expected to contain superconducting protons and superfluid neutrons. Theoretical estimates suggest that the protons will form a type…

The effect of realistic equations of state and general relativity on the "snowplow" model for pulsar glitches

Stefano Seveso, Pierre M. Pizzochero, Brynmor Haskell

Many pulsars are observed to "glitch", i.e. show sudden jumps in their rotational frequency , some of which can be as large as in a subset of pulsa…

Modelling pulsar glitches with realistic pinning forces: a hydrodynamical approach

Brynmor Haskell, Pierre Pizzochero, Trevor Sidery

Although pulsars are one of the most stable clocks in the universe, many of them are observed to 'glitch', i.e. to suddenly increase their spin frequency (ν) with fractional increa…
