We introduce a model for pulsars in which non-radial oscillations of high spherical degree (l) aligned to the magnetic axis of a spinning neutron star reproduce the morphological features of pulsar beams. In our model, rotation of the…
Some of radiopulsars have anomalous braking index values $n = \Omega \ddot{\Omega} / \dot{\Omega}^2 \sim \pm (10^3 \div 10^4) $. It is shown that such values may be related with nondipolar magnetic field. The precession of neutron star lead…

We propose a model for rotating current patterns within radiopulsar polar cap accelerators which has observational consequences that mimic those which have been attributed to neutron star free precession. The model is a simple extension of…
Euler's equations of motion are derived exactly for a rigid, triaxial, internally frictionless neutron star spinning down electromagnetically in vacuo. It is shown that the star precesses, but not freely: its regular precession relative to…
Neutron stars such as pulsars and magnetars lose angular momentum primarily through electromagnetic dipole radiation, gravitational waves, $r$-mode oscillation, and also affected by fallback accretion processes. However, anomalous spin…

Isolated neutron stars undergoing non-radial oscillations are expected to emit gravitational waves in the kilohertz frequency range. To date, radio astronomers have located about 1,300 pulsars, and can estimate that there are about 2 times…
A deformed neutron star (NS) will precess if the instantaneous spin axis and the angular momentum are not aligned. Such a precession can produce continuous gravitational waves (GWs) and modulate electromagnetic pulse signals of pulsars. In…
We formulate a model of pulsar spin evolution (braking, inclination angle evolution and radiative precession) taking into account the non-rigidity of neutron star rotation. We discuss two simple limiting cases of this model and show that…
We discuss short wavelength (inertial wave) instabilities present in the standard two-fluid neutron star model when there is sufficient relative flow along the superfluid neutron vortex array. We demonstrate that these instabilities may be…
Neutrino oscillations, biased by the magnetic field, alter the shape of the neutrinosphere in a cooling protoneutron star emerging from the supernova collapse. The resulting anisotropy in the momentum of outgoing neutrinos can be the origin…
Evidence for free precession has been observed in the radio signature of several pulsars. Freely precessing pulsars radiate gravitationally at frequencies near the rotation rate and twice the rotation rate, which for rotation frequencies…
