Incompressible analytical models for spinning-down pulsars
Abstract
We study a class of Newtonian models for the deformations of non-magnetised neutron stars during their spin-down. All the models have an analytical solution which allows to easily grasp the dependence of the strain on the star's main physical quantities, such as radius, mass, and crust thickness.
