The influence of small scale magnetic field on the heating of J0250+5854 polar cap

The influence of surface small scale magnetic field on the heating of PSR J0250+5854 polar cap is considered. It is assumed that polar cap is heated only by reverse positrons, accelerated in pulsar diode. It is supposed that pulsar diode is in stationary state with lower plate nearby the star surface (polar cap model), occupies all pulsar tube crosssection and operates in regime of steady space charge limited electron flow. The influence of small scale magnetic field on electric field inside pulsar diode is taken into account. To calculate the electron-positron pairs production rate we take into account only the curvature radiation of primary electrons and its absorption in magnetic field. It is assumed that part of electro-positron pairs may be created in bound state (positronium). And later such positroniums are photoionized by thermal photons from star surface.

Precession and glitches in the framework of three-component model of neutron star

We consider the pulsar rotation assuming that the neutron star consists of crust component (which rotation is observed) and two core components. One of the core components contains pinned superfluid which can, for some reasons, suddenly inject small fraction of stored angular momentum in it. In the framework of this simple model the star can demonstrate glitch-like events together with long period precession (with period $1-10^{4}$ years).

The influence of small-scale magnetic field on the evolution of inclination angle and precession damping in the framework of 3-component model of neutron star

The evolution of inclination angle and precession damping of radio pulsars is considered. It is assumed that the neutron star consists of 3 "freely" rotating components: the crust and two core components, one of which contains pinned superfluid vortices. We suppose that each component rotates as a rigid body. Also the influence of the small-scale magnetic field on the star's braking process is examined. Within the framework of this model the star simultaneously can have glitch-like events combined with long-period precession (with periods $10-10^{4}$ years). It is shown that the case of the small quantity of pinned superfluid vortices seems to be more consistent with observations.
