Description

A recent series of observations are described in which the relatively old pulsar PSR0355+54 has been seen to suffer two glitches, the second of which is the largest observed in any pulsar and provides a valuable opportunity for the study of the recovery of the interior of a neutron star following such a large perturbation.
