abstract

The radio pulsar PSR J0742-2822 is known to exhibit rapid changes between different pulse profile states that correlate with changes in its spin-down rate. However, the connection between these variations and the glitch activity of the pulsar remains unclear. We aim to study the evolution of the pulse profile and spin-down rate of PSR J0742-2822 in the period MJD 58810-60149 (November 2019 to July 2023), which includes the glitch on MJD 59839 (September 2022). In particular, we look for pulse profile or spin-down changes associated with the 2022 glitch. We observed PSR J0742-2822 with high cadence from the Argentine Institute of Radio astronomy (IAR) between November 2019 and July 2023. We used standard timing tools to characterize the times of arrival of the pulses and study the pulsar rotation, and particularly, the oscillations of $\dot \nu$. We also study the evolution of the pulse profile. For both of them, we compare their behavior before and after the 2022 glitch. With respect to $\dot \nu$, we found oscillations diminished in amplitude after the glitch. We found four different components contributing to the pre-glitch $\dot \nu$ oscillations, and only one component after the glitch. About the emission, we found the pulse profile has two main peaks. We detected an increase in the $W_{50}$ of the total pulse profile of $\sim$12% after the glitch and we found the amplitude of the trailing peak increased with respect to the amplitude of the leading one after the glitch. We found significant changes in the pulse profile and the spin-down rate of PSR J0742-2822 after its 2022 glitch. These results suggest that there is a strong coupling between the internal superfluid of the neutron star and its magnetosphere, and that pulse profile changes may be led by this coupling instead of being led purely by magnetospheric effects.
