Superfluid spherical Couette flow and rotational irregularities in pulsars

Peralta, Carlos Andres Unknown Date (has links) (PDF)
Small amplitude rotational irregularities are observed in a number of rotation-powered pulsars. They fall into two classes: (i) glitches, defined as abrupt increases in the angular velocity of a pulsar (accompanied sometimes by changes in the angular acceleration Ω), of which 286 have been observed in 101 objects; and (ii) timing noise, a continuous stochastic fluctuation in phase, or, which is observed mostly in young and adolescent pulsars (with ages ≥ 10 4 yr). Both classes of irregularity seem to arise from some mechanism that couples the angular momentum of the solid crust and superfluid core of the star, which is activated suddenly when differential rotation exceeds a threshold. Coupling mechanisms proposed to date include catastrophic vortex unpinning in the inner crust, triggered by starquakes; vortex creep, due to thermally activated quantum tunnelling; superfluid-superconductor interactions in the core; and superfluid instabilities. The associated theories are phenomenological, not predictive.
