Glitches are sudden spin-up events of pulsars and are usually thought to be induced by unpinning of neutron superfluid vortices in pulsar crusts. Unpinning and repinning of superfluid vortices, and even thermoelectric effects induced by the…

Pulsar glitches are attributed to the sudden re-coupling of very weakly coupled large scale superfluid components in the neutron star interior. This process leads to rapid exchange of angular momentum and an increase in spin frequency. The…

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…

Glitch (sudden spinup) is a common phenomenon in pulsar observations. However, the physical mechanism of glitch is still a matter of debate because it depends on the puzzle of pulsar's inner structure, i.e., the equation of state of dense…

Many pulsars are observed to "glitch", i.e. show sudden jumps in their rotational frequency $\nu$, some of which can be as large as $\Delta \nu/\nu\approx 10^{-6}-10^{-5}$ in a subset of pulsars known as giant glitchers. Recently Pizzochero…
