Various neutron star (NS) models correspond to an unrealistic mass range $\leq 0.5M_\odot$ for the Vela pulsar, if the observational constraints of the glitch healing parameter in the starquake model ($Q = I_{\rm core}/I_{\rm total} \leq…
The core-envelope analytic models of Negi et al. (1989) have been found to be consistent with both the mechanisms of glitch generation in pulsars, namely - (i) the starquake model and (ii) the vortex unpinning model. In Negi (2019), the…
We study analytic core-envelope models obtained in Negi et al. (1989) under slow rotation. We have regarded in the present study, the lower bound on the estimate of moment of inertia of the Crab pulsar, $I_{\rm Crab,45} \geq 2$ (where…

We calculate crustal properties of neutron stars, namely, mass ($M_{\rm crust}$), radius ($R_{\rm crust}$) and fraction of moment of inertia ($\Delta I/I$) from parametrizations of hadronic relativistic mean-field (RMF) model consistent…
We demonstrate that observations of glitches in the Vela pulsar can be used to investigate the strength of the crust-core coupling in a neutron star, and suggest that recovery from the glitch is dominated by torque exerted by the…
Pulsar glitches-the sudden spin-up in the rotational frequency of a neutron star-suggest the existence of an angular-momentum reservoir confined to the inner crust of the neutron star. Large and regular glitches observed in the Vela pulsar…
We describe time-tagged observations of the Vela pulsar (PSR B0833-45) with the HST STIS MAMA-UV detectors. Using an optimal extraction technique, we obtain a NUV light curve and crude FUV phase-resolved spectra. The pulse is dominated by…

During the spin-up phase of a large pulsar glitch - a sudden decrease of the rotational period of a neutron star - the angular velocity of the star may overshoot, namely reach values greater than that observed for the new post-glitch…
The angular momentum transfer associated to Vela-like glitches has never been calculated {\em directly} within a realistic scenario for the storage and release of superfluid vorticity; therefore, the explanation of giant glitches in terms…
There are currently two well-accepted models that explain how pulsars exhibit glitches, sudden changes in their regular rotational spin-down. According to the starquake model, the glitch healing parameter, Q, which is measurable in some…
