Rotating radio transients
ID: rotating-radio-transients
Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs) are a type of astronomical object that emit bursts of radio waves. They are a subclass of radio pulsars, which are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars that emit beams of electromagnetic radiation. The key characteristic of RRATs is that their radio emissions are not continuous; instead, they consist of sporadic, short bursts that can last for milliseconds.
