Superfluidity in millisecond pulsars

Abstract

The evidence for superfluidity in the Vela pulsar, the Crab pulsar and PSR 0525 + 21 is reviewed, and the prospects for observing similar consequences of superfluidity in the already-discovered millisecond pulsars are examined. Inter alia, the likelihood of observing glitches, the expected postglitch behavior, and pulsar heating by energy dissipation due to the creep of neutron vortex lines in pinned superfluid regions of the crust are considered.
