Abstract

The rotating radio transients are sporadic pulsars which are difficult to detect through periodicity searches. By using a single-pulse search method, we can discover these sources, measure their periods, and determine timing solutions. Here we introduce our results on six RRATs based on Parkes and Green Bank Telescope (GBT) observations, along with a comparison of the spin-down properties of RRATs and normal pulsars.
