Scientific paper

The radio transient sky is poorly known. We have recently conducted the most sensitive survey for radio transients (RTs) that has discovered 10 RTs, which have a duration of less than one week, a flaring amplitude of greater than 100, and no identification in deep radio and optical images. These RTs have no clear association with known phenomena. Possible X-ray counterparts to the RTs include isolated neutron stars, active stars, and optically-obscured AGN. An origin with any of these source classes requires a new understanding of event rates and luminosity functions. We propose Chandra ACIS-I observations of this field. Discovery of X-ray counterparts will have a significant impact on our understanding of the processes at work and possibly identify a new source class.
