Description for Transient Radio Sky
Hardback. Focusing on a recently identified group of neutron stars known as RRATs, this thesis analyses neutron star birthrates and shows how a reassessment of the Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey has resulted in the discovery of 19 new transient radio sources. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 204 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PGM; PNFS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 242 x 161 x 17. Weight in Grams: 448.
The high time-resolution radio sky represents unexplored astronomical territory. This thesis presents a study of the transient radio sky, focussing on millisecond scales. As such, the work is concerned primarily with neutron stars. In particular this research concentrates on a recently identified group of neutron stars, known as RRATs, which exhibit radio bursts every few minutes to every few hours. After analysing neutron star birthrates, a re-analysis of the Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey is described which has resulted in the discovery of 19 new transient radio sources. Of these, 12 have been seen to repeat and a follow-up campaign of ... Read more
