THE PERSISTENT SHIFT IN SPIN-DOWN RATE FOLLOWING THE LARGEST CRAB PULSAR GLITCH RULES OUT EXTERNAL TORQUE VARIATIONS DUE TO STARQUAKES

The Persistent Shift in Spin-down Rate Following the Largest Crab Pulsar Glitch Rules Out External Torque Variations due to Starquakes

It was previously believed that the long-term persistent increase in the spin-down rate of the Crab pulsar following a glitch is direct evidence of a starquake-induced glitch or at least related to a starquake.Using radio data covering 1710 days following the 2017 glitch, we obtain an extreme persistent increase of the Electronic Ballasts spin-down
