The Rotating RAdio Transients (RRATs) represent a recently discovered class of sources exhibiting short isolated radio bursts (lasting between 2 ms and 30 ms) which repeat at average intervals ranging from 4 minutes to about 3 hours. Given these features, the RRATSs should largely outnumber the population of the ordinary radiopulsars, which strongly highlights the importance of establishing their nature and their origin. The aim of this proposal is to assess if the Rotating RAdio Transients are related to the population of the so-called X-ray Dim Isolated Neutron Stars (XDINSs). In fact the two classes of objects share striking similarities: spin periods, estimated ages, estimated surface magnetic fields and lack of a steady emission of pulsed radio signals. In particular, we plan to search for bursting radio emission from the entire population of five XDINSs visible from Parkes using three frequencies and with integration times long enough for covering the longest average intervals of repetition of the bursts seen in the known population of RRATs.
