Post-Glitch RXTE-PCA Observations of the Vela Pulsar
We report the results of analysis of observations of the Vela Pulsar by PCA
on RXTE. Our data consists of two parts. The first part contains observations
at 1, 4, and 9 days after the glitch in 1996 and has 27000 sec. total exposure
time. The second part of observations were performed three months after this
glitch and have a total exposure time of 93000 sec. We found pulsations in both
sets. The observed spectrum is a power-law with no apparent change in flux or
count rate. The theoretical expectations of increase in flux due to internal
heating after a glitch are smaller than the uncertainty of the observations.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures in 9 ps/eps files. Accepted for publication in A&A
