Abstract: ³P₂ vortices in neutron-star matter are structurally different from vortices in a ¹S₀ superfluid. The most important difference is that ³P₂ vortices have a spontaneous magnetization in the core region directed along the vortex line. We estimate the velocity relaxation time for electron scattering from these vortices and compare our results with those of Feibelman and the observed relaxation times for the Crab and Vela pulsars.
