The Vela pulsar is the brightest persistent object in the high-energy gamma-ray sky... "Glitches are sudden spin-ups in the rotation of pulsars. Vela is the best known of all the glitching pulsars, with glitches occurring on average every three years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vela_Pulsar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vela_Pulsar
