If the angular momentum of the molecular cloud core were conserved during the star formation process, a new-born star would rotate much faster than its fission speed. This constitutes the angular momentum problem of new-born stars. In this…

Glitches are rare spin-up events that punctuate the smooth slow-down of the rotation of pulsars. For the Vela pulsar and PSR J0537-6910, the glitch sizes and the times between consecutive events have clear preferred scales, contrary to the…

Neutron stars are known to show accelerated spin-up of their rotational frequency called a glitch. Highly magnetized rotating neutron stars (pulsars) are frequently observed by radio telescopes (and in other frequencies), where the glitch…

Stress accumulation-relaxation meta-models of pulsar glitches make precise, microphysics-agnostic predictions of long-term glitch statistics, which can be falsified by existing and future timing data. Previous meta-models assume that…

The interiors of mature neutron stars are expected to be superfluid. Superfluidity of matter on the microscopic scale can have a number of large scale, potentially observable consequences, as the superfluid component of the star can now…

The remarkable null pulse coincident with the 2016 glitch in Vela rotation indicates a dynamical event involving the crust and the magnetosphere of the neutron star. We propose that a crustal quake associated with the glitch strongly…

Giant resonances (GRs) provide crucial insights into nuclear physics and astrophysics. Exciting GRs using particles like electrons is effective, yet the angular momentum (AM) transfer of electrons, including both intrinsic spin and orbital…

The superfluid in the inner crust of neutron star is assumed to be the reservoir of momentum released in pulsar glitch. Recently, due to crustal entrainment, it is debatable whether the magnitude of the inner crust is sufficient to contain…

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 cold, non-accreting neutron star, in which a lattice of nuclei…

Pulsars are known for their exceptionally stable rotation. However, this stability can be disrupted by glitches, sudden increases in rotation frequency whose cause is poorly understood. In this study, we present some preliminary results…

Making use of the possibility that gluon condensate can be formed in neutron star core, we study the vortex pinning force between the crust and the interior of the neutron star. Our estimations indicate an increase in pinning strength with…

We investigate the dynamics of a quantized vortex and a nuclear impurity immersed in a neutron superfluid within a fully microscopic time-dependent three-dimensional approach. The magnitude and even the sign of the force between the…

The observed large rates of spinning down after glitches in some radio pulsars have been previously explained in terms of a long-term spin-up behavior of a superfluid part of the crust of neutron stars. We argue that the suggested mechanism…

The rotating neutron superfluid in the inner crust of a neutron star is threaded by quantized vortex lines. The pinning force from lattice nuclei and the Magnus force from neutron superfluid act onto a vortex line that has a finite tension.…
