Energetic RRATs populate the Universe
Nanda Rea (Amsterdam)

I will present in this talk recent results on a newly discovered class
of neutron stars, the Rotating RAdio Transients (RRATs). The
bewildering emission from these objects seems at variance with all
currently known physical mechanisms involved in the emission of other
isolated neutron stars. As a comparison, I will also review the state
of the art on isolated neutron stars, with a particular attention at
those pulsars with dipolar fields higher than the electron critical B
field, namely greater than ~4x10^13 Gauss.
