We report here the detection of a new glitch in the Vela pulsar (PSR B0833-45/PSR J0835-4510) with the two single-dish 30 meter antennas Varsavsky (A1) and Bajaja (A2) of the Argentine Institute of Radioastronomy (IAR) as a result of a daily-monitoring performed by the PuMA Collaboration (Pulsar Monitoring in Argentina). The observations reported here are double-polarization, at 1.4 GHz, with a 56 MHz bandwidth.

We observed the Vela PSR on Jul 21 (MJD 59416.6321) for ~3 hr and measured a barycentric period of P_bary = 89.4086241(17) ms, consistent with our ephemeris before the glitch. No glitch was observed during this observation, which ended in MJD 59416.7666. In our first post-glitch observation performed on Jul 22 (started in MJD 59417.6549), we obtained a period P_bary = 89.4065093(15) ms, showing a decrease of DeltaP = 0.113 us with respect to the expected period. This result was confirmed with a subsequent observation on Jul 23.

This preliminary analysis places this new Vela glitch of DeltaP/P = 1.26e-6 between MJD 59416.7666 and MJD 59417.6549. We will continue performing daily monitoring of the Vela PSR at 1.4 GHz during the glitch recovery phase.
