The interior of a neutron star is expected to be occupied by a neutron $^3P_2$ superfluid, which is the condensate of spin-triplet $p$-wave Cooper pairs of neutrons with total angular momentum $J=2$. Here we investigate the thermodynamic…
Based on the magnetic dipole radiation from the 3P2 neutron superfluid vortices (3P2NSFV) in neutron stars, we propose a model of glitch for young pulsars by oscillation between B phase and A phase of 3P2 Neutron superfluid. The main…
I review some of the ideas that have been proposed for the structure of neutron star interiors, and concentrate on the theoretical arguments for the existence of superfluidity in neutron stars. I also discuss the implications of neutron…
Since there is 3P2 neutron superfluid in neutron star interior, it can be treated as a system of magnetic dipoles. Under the presence of background magnetic field, the magnetic dipoles tend to align in the same direction. When the…
In the core of a canonical spinning magnetized neutron star(NS) a nearly uniform superfluid neutron vortex-array interacts strongly with a twisted array of magnetic flux-tubes threading the core's superconducting protons. One consequence is…
After some post-natal cooling, a spinning, magnetized, canonical neutron-star (NS) has a core of superconducting protons, superfluid neutrons, and degenerate extreme relativistic electrons, all surrounded by a thin highly conducting solid…
We explore the theoretical possibility of $^3P_0$ neutron superfluid in dilute spin-polarized neutron matter, which may be relevant to the crust region of a magnetized neutron star. In such a dilute regime where the neutron Fermi energy is…
We show the existence of a strong trend between neutron star surface temperature and the dipolar component of the magnetic field extending through three orders of field magnitude, a range that includes magnetars, radio-quiet isolated…
Despite the fact that different particle species can diffuse with respect to each other in neutron star (NS) cores, the effect of particle diffusion on various phenomena associated with NS oscillations is usually ignored. Here we…
Spinning superfluid neutrons in the core of a neutron star interact strongly with co-existing superconducting protons. One consequence is that the outward(inward) motion of core superfluid neutron vortices during spin-down(up) of a neutron…
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 little or no viscosity. A probe of superfluidity comes from…
The possibility of a neutron m=2-superfluid in the interior of neutron stars is investigated. This pairing state is energetically favoured in strong magnetic fields ($H\sim 10^{16}-10^{17}$ G). Because of the node in the angular-dependent…
The mechanism by which the radiation received from obliquely rotating neutron stars is generated remains an open question half a century after the discovery of pulsars. In contrast, considerable progress has recently been made in…
The magnetic fields of neutron stars have a large range (~3e10 - 1e15 G). There may be a tendency for more highly magnetized neutron stars to come from more massive stellar progenitors, but other factors must also play a role. When combined…
Basic rotational and magnetic properties of neutron superfluids and proton superconductors in neutron stars are reviewed. The modes of precession of the neutron superfluid are discussed in detail. We emphasize that at finite temperature,…
Neutron stars are believed to contain (neutron and proton) superfluids. I will give a summary of a macroscopic description of the interior of neutron stars, in a formulation which is general relativistic. I will also present recent results…
The spin-down of a neutron star, e.g. due to magneto-dipole losses, results in compression of the stellar matter and induces nuclear reactions at phase transitions between different nuclear species in the crust. We show that this mechanism…
The evolution of inclination angle and precession damping of radio pulsars is considered. It is assumed that the neutron star consists of 3 "freely" rotating components: the crust and two core components, one of which contains pinned…
We address the problem of magnetic field dissipation in the neutron star cores, focusing on the role of neutron superfluidity. Contrary to the results in the literature, we show that in the finite-temperature superfluid matter composed of…
We estimate the strength of the induced magnetic field due to the total induced magnetic moment of the anisotropic ($^3PF^2$) neutron superfluid interior of neutron stars. The induced magnetic field of the neutron stars is found as follows.…
