Pulsar glitches are traditionally viewed as a manifestation of vortex dynamics associated with a neutron superfluid reservoir confined to the inner crust of the star. In this Letter we show that the non-dissipative entrainment coupling…
We study the pulsar timing properties and the data analysis methods during glitch recoveries. In some cases one first fits the time-of-arrivals (TOAs) to obtain the "time-averaged" frequency $\nu$ and its first derivative $\dot\nu$, and…
Sharp structural variations induce specific signatures on stellar pulsations that can be studied to infer localised information on the stratification of the star. This information is key to improve our understanding of the physical…
Young pulsars deviate from a perfectly regular spin-down by two non-deterministic phenomena: impulsive glitches and timing noise. Both phenomena are interesting per se, and may provide insights into the superfluid properties of neutron…
Superfluid vortex avalanches are one plausible cause of pulsar glitch activity. If they occur according to a state-dependent Poisson process, the measured long-term glitch rate is determined by the spin-down rate of the stellar crust,…
Rotational glitches in some rotation-powered pulsars display power-law size and exponential waiting time distributions. These statistics are consistent with a state-dependent Poisson process, where the glitch rate is an increasing function…
Spinning neutron stars, when observed as pulsars, are seen to undergo occasional spin-up events known as glitches. Despite several decades of study, the physical mechanisms responsible for glitches are still not well understood, but…
Neutron stars are observed to undergo small, abrupt rotational speed-up. This phenomenon is known as glitch. In pulsar timing observations, detection of a neutron star glitch is constrained by the time of occurrence of the event relative to…
The dynamics of quantised vorticity in neutron star interiors is at the heart of most pulsar glitch models. However, the large number of vortices (up to $\approx 10^{13}$) involved in a glitch and the huge disparity in scales 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…
We present a statistical study of the glitch population and the behaviour of the glitch activity across the known population of neutron stars. An unbiased glitch database was put together based on systematic searches of radio timing data of…
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 pulsar glitches by solving it with generic initial…
A systematic, semi-automated search for pulsar glitches in the first UTMOST public data release is presented. The search is carried out using a hidden Markov model which incorporates both glitches and timing noise into the model of the…
The 2016 Vela glitch observed by the Mt Pleasant radio telescope provides the first opportunity to study pulse-to-pulse dynamics of a pulsar glitch, opening up new possibilities to study the neutron star's interior. We fit models of the…
Pulsar glitches provide a unique way to study neutron star microphysics because short post-glitch dynamics are directly linked to strong frictional processes on small scales. To illustrate this connection between macroscopic observables and…
For a selection of 35 pulsars with large spin-up glitches ($\Delta{\nu}/\nu\geq10^{-6}$), which are monitored by the Jodrell Bank Observatory, we analyse 157 glitches and their recoveries. All parameters are measured consistently and we…
Radio pulsars provide us with some of the most stable clocks in the universe. Nevertheless several pulsars exhibit sudden spin-up events, known as glitches. More than forty years after their first discovery, the exact origin of these…
Mature neutron stars are expected to have several superfluid components. Strong evidence for this is provided by the glitches that have been observed in dozens of pulsars. The underlying idea behind most glitch models is that, as the…
An updated analysis of pulsar glitch parameters was conducted using a sample of 215 pulsars, encompassing 677 recorded glitch events, each glitch at least once between 1968 and 2024. The glitch rates were estimated and plotted against…
Pulsar glitches are thought to be probes of the superfluid interior of neutron stars. These sudden jumps in frequency observed in many pulsars are generally assumed to be the macroscopic manifestation of superfluid vortex motion on a…
