Glitch observations in slow pulsars

Abstract

We have analyzed 5.5 years of timing observations of 7 ``slowly'' rotating radio pulsars, made with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope. We present improved timing solutions and 30, mostly small new glitches. The most interesting results are: 1) The detection of glitches one to two orders of magnitude smaller than ever seen before in slow radio pulsars. 2) Resolving timing-noise looking structures in the residuals of PSR B1951+32 by using a set of small glitches. 3) The detections of three new glitches in PSR J1814-1744, a high-magnetic field pulsar. In these proceedings we present the most interesting results of our study. For a full coverage, we refer the reader to Janssen & Stappers (2006).
