Pulsar Spin-Down Induced Phenomena: Heating; Magnetic Field Evolution; Glitches; Pulse-Period Modulations
M. Ruderman
Abstract
Modeling the dynamics of the quantum fluids within a spinning-down neutron star gives a description consistent with observed pulsar magnetic field evolution and spin-period "glitches." The long-standing problem of large predicted excesses in spin-down sustained pulsar heating from such models now see ms resolvable. However, the origin of some pulsar spin-period and pulse-shape modulations which have been interpreted as manifestations of very long period (~year) stellar precession is a crucial challenge to canonical neutron star models.
