Radio pulsars provide us with some of the most stable clocks in the universe. Nevertheless
several pulsars exhibit sudden spin-up events, known as glitches. More than forty years after …

Matter at high density and low temperature is expected to be a color superconductor, which
is a degenerate Fermi gas of quarks with a condensate of Cooper pairs near the Fermi …

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 …

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 …

∼ 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 test statistically the hypothesis that radio pulsar glitches result from an avalanche
process, in which angular momentum is transferred erratically from the flywheel-like …

Singlet S-wave nucleonic superfluids are studied within a microscopic many-body theory
that incorporates explicit spatial correlations due to strong short-range repulsive forces as …

We report on more than 7 yr of monitoring of PSR J0537-6910, the 16 ms pulsar in the LMC,
using data acquired with RXTE. During this campaign the pulsar experienced 23 sudden …

After a brief introduction we present a progress report on the recent works carried out during
the last ten years or so, on the thermal evolution of neutron stars and related problems. The …

We consider the physical implications of the rapid spin-down of soft gamma repeater SGR
1900+ 14 reported by Woods and colleagues in 1999. During an 80 day interval between …
