∼ 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 …

In this third paper in a series on stable magnetic equilibria in stars, I look at the stability of
axisymmetric field configurations and, in particular, the relative strengths of the toroidal and …

The CHIME/FRB collaboration recently reported the detection of a 16 day periodicity in the
arrival times of radio bursts from FRB 180916. J0158+ 65. We study the possibility that the …

The X-ray activity of anomalous X-ray pulsars and soft γ-ray repeaters may result from the
heating of their magnetic corona by direct currents dissipated by magnetic reconnection. We …

An outburst of more than 80 individual bursts, similar to those seen from Soft Gamma
Repeaters (SGRs), was detected from the anomalous X-ray pulsar (AXP) 1E 2259+ 586 in …

Rotating neutron stars that support long-lived, non-axisymmetric deformations known as
mountains have long been considered potential sources of gravitational radiation. However …

I show that the standard picture of the neutron star core containing coexisting neutron and
proton superfluids, with the proton component forming a type II superconductor threaded by …

The elastic crust of a neutron star fractures repeatedly as it spins down electromagnetically.
An idealized, macroscopic model of inhomogeneous crustal failure is presented based on a …

The aim of this paper is to compare the two cases of an isolated neutron star, with a non-
accreted crust, and that of an accreting neutron star, with an accreted crust, and try to …

Fast radio bursts are millisecond-duration radio pulses of extragalactic origin. A recent
statistical analysis has found that the burst energetics of the repeating source FRB 121102 …
