Description
We call attention to a number of hitherto unexamined regularities in the Vela pulsar timing data and show how these find a natural explanation in 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, with postglich behavior resulting from glitch-induced vortex creep
