Superfluid Rivers in Spinning-down Neutron Stars
We study the motion of neutron superfluid vortices in a spinning-down neutron star, assuming axisymmetry of the flow and ignoring the motion of vortices about the rotation axis. We find that the vortex array, if initially rectilinear, is soon substantially deformed as the star spins down; vortices a...
