In the superfluid phases of [sup 3]He quantized vortex lines have been investigated under uniform rotation, when they form a regular array of rectilinear objects. A large diversity exists in the structure and properties of vortices, owing to the complicated nature of symmetry breaking in the different superfluid phases. A review is presented here on the various experimentally verified types of vortices. Recent measurements open a puzzling problem about their interaction and interconnection at the first-order phase boundary separating the A and B phases of superfluid [sup 3]He.
