Neutron star oscillations from starquakes

Glitches are sudden increases in the otherwise extremely regular spin rate of pulsars. One theory proposed to account for these glitches is the starquake model, in which the spinup is caused by a sudden rearrangement of the neutron star crust. Starquakes can be expected to excite some of the oscilla...
