Middleditch et al (2006) reported on 21 “glitches” in the spin- rate of the 16 ms X-ray pulsar J They showed that the time interval from one glitch to the next depends on the amplitude of the first glitch. This correlation allows the prediction of glitches to within a few days. In contrast, Wong et al (2001) concluded that glitches in the Crab pulsar are randomly distributed in time, consistent with a Poisson distribution. We compare glitch data from four “glitching” pulsars covering a range of ages. rate of the 16 ms X-ray pulsar J They showed that the time interval from one glitch to the next depends on the amplitude of the first glitch.

In contrast, Wong et al (2001) concluded that glitches in the Crab pulsar are randomly distributed in time, consistent with a Poisson distribution. We compare glitch data from four “glitching” pulsars covering a range of ages. Questions  Are the small glitches “aftershocks”?  Is there a correlation between the size of a glitch and the time until the next glitch?  Are there two types of glitches?  Is there an evolution of glitch behaviour with pulsar age?

(1)Sum of glitch magnitudes vs time – the slope gives A g - the glitch activity index. (2)The glitch interval plotted against the size of the first glitch. Following Middleditch et al (2006) we fit a straight line (passing through the origin) to the J data. The slope of this line is 399 days ppm -1 or 6.4 days  Hz -1. (3)A cumulative distribution function is plotted for inter-glitch intervals. Theoretical Poisson and normal distribution functions are shown. A Kolmogorov-Smirnov test rejects a Poisson distribution for pulsar J (4)A cumulative distribution function is plotted for glitch sizes and compared to a theoretical normal distribution functions.

(1)Sum of glitch magnitudes vs time – the slope gives A g - the glitch activity index. For Vela A g ~ 8  Hz / yr. (2)The dotted red line is a linear fit (passing through the origin) to all the data. The cyan line is fitted only to the large glitches. (3)A cumulative distribution function is plotted for inter- glitch intervals. Theoretical Poisson and normal distribution functions are shown. A Kolmogorov- Smirnov test rules out a Poisson distribution, suggesting the glitches are not randomly distributed in time.
