Detection of Five New RRATs at 111 MHz

TL;DR

This paper reports the discovery of five new rotating radio transients (RRATs) at 111 MHz through monitoring observations, expanding the catalog of known transient radio sources.

Contribution

It presents the first detection of five new RRATs at 111 MHz, providing their flux densities and dispersion measures, and enhances understanding of transient radio sources.

Findings

Five new RRATs discovered at 111 MHz

Detected 54 pulsating sources including known pulsars and transients

Provided flux density and dispersion measure estimates for all sources

Abstract

Results of 111-MHz monitoring observations carried out on the Big Scanning Antenna of the Pushchino Radio Astronomy Observatory during September 1-28, 2015 are presented. Fifty-four pulsating sources were detected at declinations $-9^o < \delta < +42^o$. Forty-seven of these are known pulsars, five are new sources, and two are previously discovered transients. Estimates of the peak flux densities and dispersion measures are presented or all these sources.
