Abstract

ABSTRACT Many pulsars show sudden rotation jumps, glitches, superimposed to the gradual rotation down due to the continued loss of energy by radiation. A lot of models have been proposed to explain glitches. Most of the models are associated with layer structure of neutron stars. We try to investigate possibility of relationship between glitches of Crab pulsar and Einstein-de Haas effect. In the scenarios, spin polarization of neutron matter with Skyrme-type interactions forms a macroscopic spin angular momentum, and the Einstein-de Haas effect – transfer between the macroscopic spin and orbit angular momentum – gives rise to glitches of pulsars. It is shown that the scenario is in agreement with the observations of Crab pulsar on glitches and post-glitches relaxation.
