Continuous reduced period spacing signal predicted by the analytical model (Eq. (11)), considering a single step-like glitch (Eq. (6)) and varying the model parameters one at a time (red line). The horizontal dotted line marks the asymptotic reduced period spacing value ΔΠ_as. Panel a.: Reference case with ΔΠ_as = 300 s, A_st = 10, ${\stackrel{\sim }{\mathcal{W}}}_{\mathrm{g}}^{\star }$ = 0.008 rad/s (or Π_sig = 2467 s) and δ = 1.3. Panel b.: Same as reference but with ΔΠ_as = 250 s. Panel c.: Same as reference but with ${\stackrel{\sim }{\mathcal{W}}}_{\mathrm{g}}^{\star }$ = 0.010 rad/s (or Π_sig = 1974 s). Panel d.: Same as reference but with A_st = 5. Panel e.: Same as reference case but for a Gaussian glitch with A_G = 0.002 rad/s and Δ_g = 0 rad/s. Panel f.: Same as reference case but for a Gaussian glitch with A_G = 0.006 rad/s and Δ_g = 0.00049 rad/s.
