Theory of relaxation of pulsar angular velocity within the framework of the general theory of relativity

The dynamics of the rotation of a two-component system in a neutron star is considered within the framework of the general theory of relativity. Equations for the angular velocities of the normal and superfluid components are obtained in the W approximation. It is shown that the solutions of these e...

Description
Summary:The dynamics of the rotation of a two-component system in a neutron star is considered within the framework of the general theory of relativity. Equations for the angular velocities of the normal and superfluid components are obtained in the W approximation. It is shown that the solutions of these equations can describe the relaxation of pulsar angular velocity after a glitch.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
