Pulsar Glitches: A Review by Shiqi Zhou et al. on Monday 28 November

$\sim 6\%$ of all known pulsars have been observed to exhibit sudden spin-up

events, known as glitches. For more than fifty years, these phenomena have

played an important role in helping to understand pulsar (astro)physics. Based

on the review of pulsar glitches search method, the progress made in

observations in recent years is summarized, including the achievements obtained

by Chinese telescopes. Glitching pulsars demonstrate great diversity of

behaviours, which can be broadly classified into four categories: normal

glitches, slow glitches, glitches with delayed spin-ups, and anti-glitches. The

main models of glitches that have been proposed are reviewed and their

implications for neutron star structure are critically examined regarding our

current understanding. Furthermore, the correlations between glitches and

emission changes, which suggest that magnetospheric state-change is linked to

the pulsar-intrinsic processes, are also described and discussed in some

detail.
