The glitch-induced identity changes of PSR J1119-6127.
WELTEVREDE P., JOHNSTON S. and ESPINOZA C.M.
Abstract (from CDS):
The properties of this pulsar are discussed in light of the growing evidence that RRATs do not form a distinct class of pulsar, but rather are a combination of different extreme emission types seen in other neutron stars. Different sub-classes of the RRATs can potentially be separated by calculating the lower limit on the modulation index of their emission. Unlike other quantities, this parameter is independent of observation duration allowing a direct comparison with other emission phenomena. We speculate that if the abnormal behaviour in PSR J1119-6127 is indeed glitch induced then there might exist a population of neutron stars which only become visible in the radio band for a short duration in the immediate aftermath of glitch activity. These neutron stars will be visible in the radio band as sources that only emit a cluster of pulses once every few years.
