Scientific paper

Previously unexamined regularities in the Vela pulsar timing data are noted, and explained by a theory of giant glitches in the Vela and other pulsars as the dynamic consequence of catastrophic unpinning events in the pinned crustal neutron superfluid. Postglitch behavior then results from the glitch-induced vortex creep. An implication of the theory is that the energy release in this glitch scenario need not appear instantaneously on the surface as heat.
