A cellular automaton model of pulsar glitches
A cellular automaton model of pulsar glitches is described, based on the superfluid vortex unpinning paradigm. Recent analyses of pulsar glitch data suggest that glitches result from scale-invariant avalanches (Melatos et al. 2007), which are consistent with a self-organized critical system (SOCS). A cellular automaton provides a computationally efficient means of modelling the collective behav...
متن کاملPlatelet Collapse Model of Pulsar Glitches
A platelet collapse model of neutron starquakes is introduced. It displays self-organized criticality with a robust power-law behavior. The simulations indicate a near-constant exponent, whenever scaling is present. PACS Numbers: 91.30.Px, 05.40.+j, 97.60Gb, 97.60Jd
متن کاملGeneration of Pulsar Glitches: a Superfluid Core Model A
We show that the neutron star's crust-core interface acts as a potential barrier on the peripheral neutron vortices approaching this interface and thus prevents their continuous decay on it in the course of equilibrium state deceleration. The barrier arises due to the interaction of vortex magnetic flux with the Meissner currents set up by the crustal magnetic field at the interface. When the n...
متن کاملObservations of Fourteen Pulsar Glitches
About 76 glitches in 25 pulsars have been reported to date. Most glitches are ‘giant’, with fractional increases of frequency ∆ν0/ν0 ∼ 10 . 25 glitches were analysed and presented by Shemar & Lyne (1996) who detected them mainly at Jodrell Bank during the monitoring of a sample of 279 pulsars in a regular timing programme up to MJD 49500. This paper is a continuation of their work up to MJD 505...
متن کاملPulsar slow glitches in a solid quark star model
A series of five unusual slow glitches of the radio pulsar B1822-09 (PSR J1825-0935) were observed over the 1995-2005 interval. This phenomenon is understood in a solid quark star model, where the reasonable parameters for slow glitches are presented in the paper. It is proposed that, because of increasing shear stress as a pulsar spins down, a slow glitch may occur, beginning with a collapse o...
