Scientific paper

We have discovered a new class of 11 transient radio sources characterized by repeated, dispersed radio bursts. While periodicities detected from some of these objects suggest they are rotating neutron stars, they are not detected as pulsars through standard radio searches or through their time-averaged radio emission. We propose X-ray observations of two of these sources for which we have a well-determined position and period. Analysis of a Chandra observation with one of these sources serendipitously in the field already reveals anomalously bright X-ray emission. Further observations will enable tighter spectral constraints and help determine how these sources relate to other neutron star populations such as X-ray isolated neutron stars, radio pulsars and magnetars.
