[SEMINARI] Neutron star superfluidity: from cooling to glitches

[Enric Marco]

Title: Neutron star superfluidity: from cooling to glitches

Speaker: Nils Andersson, University of Southampton

Date: Thursday, 13 February 2014, 12:00 h.

Abstract:

In this talk, I will summarise our understanding of how observations
can teach us about nucleon superfluidity at the extreme densities
present in a neutron star’s core. I will discuss the theory behind
these systems, introducing the main ideas from nuclear physics 
and laboratory superfluids, and show how observations are beginning to
constrain the theory in a useful way. The examples will involve the
observed real-time cooling of the young neutron star in Cassiopeia A
and the enigmatic glitches seen in many young radio pulsars. I will
conclude by describing other settings where superfluidity is likely to
play an 
important role.
