Rotating RAdio Transients (RRATs) are a newly discovered astronomical phenomenon, characterised by occasional radio bursts occurring at average intervals ranging from minutes to hours. Analysis of the burst arrival times allowed the identification of periodicities, which fall in the range 0.4 to 7 seconds. For three of them also a secular variation in the periodicity has been measured. In view of these rotational parameters the RRATs seem to be rotating neutron stars, albeit with properties very different from the rest of the population. The characteristics of these sources in the radio band and the X-ray properties of the first detected counterpart to a RRAT are compared with the multiwavelength properties of other classes of neutron stars trying to explain the nature of RRATs and their connections with known types of objects.
