Do magnetars glitch? Timing irregularities in anomalous X-ray pulsars [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1999 We examine the timing history of several anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs), and find that they exhibit spin down irregularities statistically similar to those of radio pulsars. We propose that these irregularities are simply glitches like those of radio pulsars and fit glitching spin down solutions to the data available for 1E~2259+586, 1E~1048.1-5937 and

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The braking index is of great importance for interpreting the spin-down mechanism of pulsar rotation. The sudden spin-down rate transition of PSR B0540−69, the lowest braking index n = 0.031, and its variations up to 1.2 in its later phases, without ...

X-Ray Polarimetry of the Crab Nebula with PolarLight: Polarization Recovery after the Glitch and a Secular Position Angle Variation [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2021 Abstract We report follow-up observations of the Crab Nebula with the PolarLight X-ray polarimeter, which revealed a possible variation in polarization associated with a pulsar glitch in 2019. The new observations confirm that the polarization has recovered roughly 100 days after the glitch.

Rotation of X-ray polarization in the glitches of a silicon crystal monochromator [PDF]
Journal of Applied Crystallography, 2016 EXAFS studies on dilute samples are usually carried out by collecting the fluorescence yield using a large-area multi-element detector. This method is susceptible to the `glitches' produced by all single-crystal monochromators. Glitches are sharp dips or spikes in the diffracted intensity at specific crystal orientations.

Soft X-ray pulses from neutron star glitches
The Astrophysical Journal, 1991 Glitches release energy in the interiors of neutron stars. In some models of glitches, such as those involving the sudden transfer of angular momentum to the stellar crust from a more rapidly rotating neutron superfluid, the energy liberated is large enough (∼10 38 −10 43 ergs) to noticeably raise the temperature of the stellar surface.

A Giant Glitch in the Energetic 69 Millisecond X-Ray Pulsar AXS J161730−505505 [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2000 We present new results on the recently discovered 69 ms X-ray pulsar AXS J161730-505505, the sixth youngest example of a rotation-powered pulsar. We have undertaken a comprehensive X-ray-observing campaign of AXS J161730-505505 with the ASCA, BeppoSAX, and RXTE observatories and follow its long-term spin-down history between 1989 and 1999 using these ...
