Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs) are a type of astronomical phenomenon characterized by the sporadic emission of radio pulses. Discovered in 2006, RRATs are thought to be neutron stars with strong magnetic fields, similar to pulsars, but unlike pulsars, which emit regular pulses of radio waves at stable intervals, RRATs emit irregular and infrequent bursts of radio radiation.
