Physics Colloquium

Exotic dynamics of neutron star interiors.

Quantum fluids, crystal lattice, magnetic fields, and conducting electrons are strongly coupled inside a neutron star. My talk will highlight giant Hall waves triggered by a superconducting transition in the neutron star core, dynamics of the superfluid vortices and of the crystal lattice in the inner crust, Landau quantization of the electron states, and a large-scale transport of the magnetic flux. These effects are important for observational appearances of pulsars and magnetars.
