Scientific paper

We have discovered 13 new Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs) and 6 new single burst events in our re-processing of the Parkes Multi-Beam Pulsar Survey. RRATs are neutron stars whose abundance points to an evolutionary link between the different neutron star classes. Constraining and characterising the RRAT population is the motive for our work. These follow-up observations will help us determine how RRATs, pulsars and magnetars are related and tell us about radio intermittency in old neutron stars with strong magnetic fields. We hope to use the Parkes telescope to study our newly discovered sources through precise timing observations.
