ABSTRACT PSR J1048-5832 (B1046-58) is a Vela-like pulsar that has exhibited multiple glitch events. In this study, we analyse the timing data spanning nearly 16 yr, acquired from both the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and the Parkes 64 m radio telescope. As a result, a total of five glitches are detected within this data set. Among them, a previously unknown small glitch is newly found at MJD 56985 (9) (November 24, 2014), making it the smallest glitch recorded from this source so far. The increments of the spin frequency and its first derivative are 2. 2 (3) 10^ -8 Hz, and ̇ 3 (2) 10^ -15 s^-2, respectively. Significant changes in the integrated normalized mean pulse profile are detected following three of the five glitch events, notably in the radio band. Although no evidence of a correlation is found between the spin-down rate and profile evolution, the jump phenomenon of W₅₅ (pulse width at the 55% peak amplitude) after the glitch in the narrow mode suggests that the glitch may influence the profile change. We discuss the influence of glitches on the pulsar’s emission properties in terms of platelet motion by a crustquake and also put constraints on the equation of state from the moment of inertia and response time-scales of involved superfluid layers inside the neutron star.
