Pulsar glitches in the presence of vortex traps
Anantharaman Sekharipuram Viswanathan, Dipankar Bhattacharya, M. Ali Alpar +1
Pulsar glitches are thought to originate when angular momentum is transferred to the crust of the neutron star from the superfluid enclosed within, mediated by vortex avalanches. T…
A White Paper on The Multi-Messenger Science Landscape in India
Samsuzzaman Afroz, Sanjib Kumar Agarwalla, Dipankar Bhattacharya +35
The multi-messenger science using different observational windows to the Universe such as Gravitational Waves (GWs), Electromagnetic Waves (EMs), Cosmic Rays (CRs), and Neutrinos o…
Astrophysics with Compact Objects: An Indian Perspective, Present Status and Future Vision
Manjari Bagchi, Prasanta Bera, Aru Beri +18
Astrophysical compact objects, viz., white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes, are the remnants of stellar deaths at the end of their life cycles. They are ideal testbeds for v…
On Bactrian glitch-size distributions
Anantharaman Sekharipuram Viswanathan, Dipankar Bhattacharya
A glitch is a rare and sudden increase in the otherwise steadily decreasing rotation rate of a pulsar. Its cause is widely attributed to the transfer of angular momentum to the cru…
