Description
Recent pulsar glitch observations indicating changing external torques, and developments in theory have opened a new perspective on neutron star structure and dynamics. Triggers and amplifiers of pulsar glitches; the roles of superfluidity and crust rigidity; the new perspectives required by the effects of Bloch entrainment; the coupling of sudden changes in internal and external torques and structure and the roles of the magnetic fields will be addressed in the pulsar context with extension to magnetars.
