Description
Superfluidity impacts the dynamics of rotating neutron stars. The presence of superfluids in neutron stars is an important ingredient in models of pulsar glitches, oscillation modes, cooling of old pulsars and, possibly, even timing noise. I will discuss how simulations of quantised vortices can help us to understand how superfluid momentum is transported in neutron stars, and their relevance for the astrophysical phenomena of pulsar glitches and timing noise.
