Neutron Stars Properties and Crust Movements in Post-glitch Epoch

TL;DR

This paper introduces a new numerical method to study how crust movements in neutron stars during post-glitch periods affect their global properties and may explain observed spin-down phenomena.

Contribution

The study presents a novel numerical code with adaptive mesh to analyze crust matter motion and its impact on neutron star properties during post-glitch epochs.

Findings

Crust movements influence neutron star global properties.

Changes in properties may explain observed spin-down.

New numerical approach improves analysis accuracy.

Abstract

Using a new numerical code with non-uniform adapted mesh, we study the changes produced in the global properties of neutron stars by the motion of matter in crust region during post-glitch epoch. Our numerical analysis shows that these changes may contribute to explain the observed spin-down of rotational frequency.
