Abstract (from CDS):
Through a detailed timing analysis of Fermi-LAT data, the rotational behavior of the γ-ray pulsar PSR J1522-5735 was tracked from 2008 August (MJD 54692) to 2024 January (MJD 60320). During this 15.4 yr period, two overrecovery glitches and four antiglitches were identified, marking a rare occurrence in rotation-powered pulsars (RPPs). The magnitudes of these (net) spin-down glitches were determined to be ∣Δνg/ν∣ ∼ 10–8, well above the estimated detectability limit. For the two overrecovery glitches, the respective recovery fractions Q are 2.1(7) and 1.4(2). Further analysis showed no substantial variations in either the flux or pulse profile shape in any of these events, suggesting that small (net) spin-down glitches, unlike large events observed in magnetars and magnetar-like RPPs, may occur without leaving an impact on the magnetosphere. Within the framework of the vortex creep and vortex bending models, antiglitches and overrecoveries indicate the recoupling of vortex lines that moved inward as a result of a crustquake; meanwhile, the apparent fluctuations in the spin-down rate after the glitches occur as a result of the coupling of the oscillations of bent vortex lines to the magnetosphere.
