abstract

With the aim of constraining the structural properties of neutron stars and the equation of state of dense matter, we study sudden spin-ups, glitches, occurring in the Vela pulsar and in six other pulsars. We present evidence that glitches represent a self-regulating instability for which the star prepares over a waiting time. The angular momentum requirements of glitches in Vela indicate that at least 1.4% of the star's moment of inertia drives these events. If glitches originate in the liquid of the inner crust, Vela's `radiation radius' must exceed ~12 km for a mass of 1.4 solar masses. Observational tests of whether other neutron stars obey this constraint will be possible in the near future.

Stochastic problems in pulsar timing

astro-ph.HE · 2026-04-09 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Analytical solutions to Langevin equations for red noise and GWB in pulsars show that an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck spin frequency model is inconsistent with stationary signals, while an overdamped oscillator model and a two-component neutron star model resolve nonstationarity through damped and diffusive e
