Observations of Rotating Radio Transients Using the Long Wavelength Array
Abstract
Rotating radio transients (RRATs) are a type of pulsar discovered through their isolated single pulses. Currently over 80 of these objects are known, but less than half have timing solutions as their sporadic nature makes obtaining solutions difficult. We present the first observations of RRATS with the Long Wavelength Array (LWA), the properties of these objects, and the potential for long-term timing at very low frequencies.
