Scientific paper

The authors show that proton vortices, which are associated with remnant and generated pulsar magnetic fields, are pinned in superfluid neutron star cores. An asymmetric energy release at the surface of the superfluid core occurs as the result of the motion of the pinned vortices; this leads to the formation of two localized pulsar radio-emission sources. The authors study the evolution of the pulsar magnetic fields. They find that the magnetic field component at right angles to the rotational axis disappears exponentially with a characteristic time τ = 2p/p˙, where p is the pulsar period.
