Chandra Proposal Id #08500961

Scientific paper

RRATs are a recently found class of probable neutron stars characterised by highly energetic transient radio bursts. Our group recently discovered the first counterpart of one of these sources: RRAT 1819-1458. With the present proposal we ask for a Chandra observation of this X-ray counterpart in order to search for possible flux and spectral variability to shed more light on the nature of this new puzzling class of objects. Furthermore we want to search for possible extended X-ray emission around the source.
