We report the detection of a glitch event in the pulsar J1709−4429 (also
known as B1706−44) during regular monitoring observations with the Molonglo
Observatory Synthesis Telescope (UTMOST). The glitch was found during timing
operations, in which we regularly observe over 400 pulsars with up to daily
cadence, while commensally searching for Rotating Radio Transients, pulsars,
and FRBs. With a fractional size of Δν/ν≈52.4×10−9,
the glitch reported here is by far the smallest known for this pulsar,
attesting to the efficacy of glitch searches with high cadence using UTMOST.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figur
