Research Progress of Rotating Radio Transients
摘要
Abstract
Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs) are a set of special astronomical objects discovered by McLaughlin et al.(2006) during the reprocessing of the data from Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey with single pulse searching method. RRATs are quiescent most of the time. They only sporadically emit pulses with the order of milliseconds. Long-term observations on these objects reveal that their pulse timing property is similar to canonical pulsars. However, the relationship between these objects and canonical pulsars is so far still not clear. In this paper, we give a review about the research progress of multi-band (radio as well as other bands) observations on RRAT, and the related RRAT emission mechanism models. At radio band, this paper will mainly introduce techniques of identifying RRAT signals (such as ZERO-DM filter, DM searching, thresholding, matched filtering and diagnosing), pulse timing and polarization observation results. In addition, this paper will summarize the observational results in X-ray, optical and near-infrared bands. Apart from these, the related RRAT emission mechanism models will be introduced, including the distant pulsar model, mutual effects between the pulsar magnetosphere and material model, the emission from the pulsar magnetosphere model etc. Finally, a summary and prospects on RRAT studies will be given in the last part of this paper.关键词
