A tale of two populations: Rotating Radio Transients and X-ray Dim Isolated Neutron Stars
arXiv:astro-ph/0603258 · doi:10.1111/j.1745-3933.2006.00166.x
Abstract
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 detection of a thermal X-ray source associated with one of the Rotating Radio Transients on the proposed scenarios for these sources are also discussed.
