About RRAT J1819-1458 Mclaughlin et al. 2006, Nature , 439, 817 Burst rate: 17 per hour Burst duration: 2 ms Peak flux : ~3.6 Jy Single pulses timing P: 4.26 s P-dot: 576 10 -15 s/s DM: 196 (3) pc cm -3 Age: 117 Kyr B surf : 5 × 10 13 Gauss Radio observations X-ray observations The Chandra observation detected the X-ray counterpart (Reynolds et al. 2006). XMM–Newton, discovered the X-ray pulsations with the period predicted by the timing of radio bursts. Mclaughlin et al. (2007) So, what is it?

Summary: In observation of hundreds of hours, we detected about 350 dispersed bursts of RRAT J1819−1458 with the signal-to-noise ratios (S/Ns) above 5 σ threshold. The S/N of the strongest burst is 13.3. The source’s DM measured through our data is 196.0 ± 0.4 pc cm −3. Our timing position with 2σ error is consistent with the position of its X-ray counterpart CXOU J181934.1−145804. 2 glitches detected in observation during 800 days, with first one at MJD 54572, the other one at MJD 54870. The distribution of the timing residuals is bimodal before the first glitch, but has only one main component between the 2 glitches, and becomes bimodal again after the second glitch. Careful study of the radio bursts properties is necessary to get a more accurate parameter of the second glitch. Long Term monitoring of RRAT J1819-1458
