Upper Limits on X-ray Emission from Two Rotating Radio Transients
X-ray emission from the enigmatic Rotating RAdio Transients (RRATs) offers a vital clue to understanding these objects and how they relate to the greater neutron star population. An X-ray counterpart to RRAT J1819−1458 is known, and its properties are similar to those of other middle-aged (0.1Myr) neutron stars. We have searched for X-ray emission with Chandra/ACIS at the positions of two RRATs...
متن کاملRotating Radio Transients: X-ray observations
Rotating RAdio Transients are a new class of neutron stars discovered through the emission of radio bursts. Eleven sources are known up to now, but population studies predict these objects to be more numerous than the normal radio pulsar population. Multiwavelength observations of these peculiar objects are in progress to disentangle their spectral energy distribution, and then study in detail ...
متن کاملUpper Limits on Periodic, Pulsed Radio Emission from the X-ray Point Source in Cassiopeia A
The Chandra X-ray Observatory recently discovered an X-ray point source near the center of Cassiopeia A, the youngest known Galactic supernova remnant. We have conducted a sensitive search for radio pulsations from this source with the Very Large Array, taking advantage of the high angular resolution of the array to resolve out the emission from the remnant itself. No convincing signatures of a...
متن کاملUpper Limits on the X-ray Emission of “Uranium” Stars
A paper by Qian & Wasserburg suggests the optical absorption lines of uranium observed in the spectra of ultra-metal-poor stars (defined as [Fe/H] <-3) arise from contamination from a supernova in a binary star system. Assuming the binary survived the explosion, a collapsed compact object may be present and implying potential accretion processes with accompanying X-ray emission. Upper limits on...
متن کاملA tale of two populations: Rotating Radio Transients and X-ray Dim Isolated Neutron Stars
We highlight similarities between recently discovered Rotating Radio Transients and X-ray Dim Isolated Neutron Stars. In particular, it is shown that X-ray Dim Isolated Neutron Stars have a birthrate comparable to that of Rotating Radio Transients. On the contrary, magnetars have too low a formation rate to account for the bulk of the radio transient population. The consequences of the recent d...
