Nonmonotonic dependence of glitch dynamics on the symmetry energy slope L0 for the DD-ME2 interaction. (a) Temporal evolution of the crustal frequency shift Δν shows complex behavior that varies with L0, in contrast to the monotonic trend seen with PKDD (Figure 4). (b) Corresponding model timing residuals compared to observations. The inset highlights the first 60 s, where the nonmonotonic dependence creates distinctive residual patterns. This contrasting behavior between nuclear interactions provides a potential discriminant for constraining the nuclear EOS.
