The physics of neutron star crusts is vast, involving many different research fields, from
nuclear and condensed matter physics to general relativity. This review summarizes the …

The interpretation of pulsar rotational glitches, the sudden increase in spin frequency of
neutron stars, is a half-century-old challenge. The common view is that glitches are driven by …

∼ 6% of all known pulsars have been observed to exhibit sudden spin-up events, known as
glitches. For more than fifty years, these phenomena have played an important role in …

We study pinning and unpinning of superfluid vortices in the inner crust of a neutron star
using three-dimensional dynamical simulations. Strong pinning occurs for certain lattice …

The nature of the interaction between superfluid vortices and the neutron star crust,
conjectured by Anderson and Itoh in 1975 to be at the heart vortex creep and the cause of …

Recent observations of old warm neutron stars suggest the presence of a heating source in
these stars, requiring a paradigm beyond the standard neutron-star cooling theory. In this …

The inner crust of a cold, nonaccreting neutron star is composed of a lattice of nuclei
coexisting with a sea of superfluid neutrons. The interaction between one of the nuclei and a …

Our previous investigation within the time-dependent nuclear energy-density functional
theory showed that the nuclear superfluids contained inside cold neutron stars could …

I describe the time-dependent superfluid local density approximation, which is an adiabatic
extension of the density functional theory to superfluid Fermi systems and their real-time …

The coupled, time-dependent Gross–Pitaevskii and Ginzburg–Landau equations are solved
simultaneously in three dimensions to investigate the equilibrium state and far-from …
