Abstract
Recent experiments [O.M. Auslaender et al., Nat. Phys. 5 (2009) 35] use a magnetic force microscope not only to image but also to move and deform an individual vortex line in a bulk YBCO type-II superconductor. The theory of this experiment is presented accounting for pinning and curving of the vortex and for the full three-dimensional anisotropy of pinning and of vortex line tension in this material.
