Abstract
In this chapter, Sect. 4.3.2 is based on a paper published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Eatough et al. [12] (astro-ph/0901.3993). Section 4.4 onwards is an enhanced version of a paper published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, [22] (astro-ph/0909.1924). As presented, this chapter describes the status of the search for RRATs in the PMSingle analysis as well as initial properties of the newly discovered sources, as they were in late 2009. Chapter 6 will give a completely up to date report on the timing solutions of these sources as well as additional confirmations since.

More precisely the amplitude of the frequency components of the voltage are proportional to the amplitudes of the corresponding electric field fluctuations.
- 2.
It is important to note that the authors state that this pulsar’s distribution seems to be multi-modal, i.e. a lognormal alone is not sufficient to describe \(f(S),\) but we use their measured values for illustration.

RFI signals emerging from air-traffic control radar, a particular problem at frequencies near 1400 MHz, are sometimes observed to also show signals sweeping in frequency. We discuss some of the effects of radar signals in Sect. 5.2.4.
- 6.
TOA differences can only be used if the TOAs are from the same observation as we quickly lose phase coherence of TOAs.
- 7.
This is due to red-noise and in the case of the zero-DM filter a suppressed fluctuation spectrum at low frequencies.
- 8.
To determine g the period must be known as g is the average number of pulses per period, or \(g=(\dot{\chi}/{\rm hr}^{-1})((P/s)\times3600).\)
