Detection of 16 small glitches in 9 pulsars

Abstract

Timing observations from the Nanshan 26-m radio telescope for nine pulsars between 2000 and 2014 have been used to search for glitches. The data span for nine pulsars ranges from 11.6 to 14.2 years. From the total of 114 yr of pulsar rotational history, 16 new glitches were identified in 9 pulsars. Glitch parameters were measured by fitting the timing residuals data. All 16 glitches have a small fractional size. Six new glitches have been detected in PSR J1833-0827, making it another frequent glitching pulsar. Some of the 16 glitches may experience exponential or linear recovery, but it is unlikely for us to make further analyses with the large gap in the data set. All the glitch rates obtained from Nanshan are higher than that from Jodrell Bank Observatory. The small glitch size and high glitch rate could possibly attribute to the high observation cadence.
