A unique transient bursting radio source, GCRT J1745-3009, has been discovered (Hyman et al. 2005a) near the direction of the Galactic center. It is still an open question to explain this phenomenon, although some efforts to understand its…

Transient astronomical sources are typically powered by compact objects and usually signify highly explosive or dynamic events. While radio astronomy has an impressive record of obtaining high time resolution observations, usually it is…

GCRT J1745-3009 is a peculiar transient radio-source in the direction of the Galactic Center. It was observed to emit a series of ~ 1 Jy bursts at 0.33 GHz, with typical duration ~ 10 min and at apparently regular intervals of ~ 77 min. If…

Recent studies have shown possible connections between highly magnetized neutron stars ("magnetars"), whose X-ray emission is too bright to be powered by rotational energy, and ordinary radio pulsars. In addition to the magnetar SGR…

Two WSRT observations were performed and five archival VLA data were reduced in order to redetect the enigmatic radio transient GCRT J1745-3009. The source was not redetected. We were, however, able to extract important new information from…

The radio sky is poorly sampled for rapidly varying transients because of the narrow field-of-view of most imaging radio telescopes at cm and shorter wavelengths. The emergence of sensitive long wavelength observations with intrinsically…

A transient radio source in the direction of the Galactic Center, GCRT J1745-3009, exhibited 5 peculiar consecutive outbursts at 0.33 GHz with a period of 77.13 minutes and a duration of ~10 minutes for each outburst. It has been claimed to…

We report detection of strong circularly polarized emission from the transient bursting source GCRT J1745-3009 based on new analysis of 325 MHz GMRT observations conducted on 28 September 2003. We place 8 Solar radius as the upper limit on…

The nature of the long period radio transient GLEAM-X J162759.5$-$523504.3 (GLEAM-X J1627 for short) is discussed. We try to understand both its radio emission and pulsation in the neutron star scenario, as an alternative to the white dwarf…

We present an optical/near-infrared search for a counterpart to the perplexing radio transient GCRT J1745-3009, a source located ~1 degree from the Galactic Center. Motivated by some similarities to radio bursts from nearby ultracool…

Long-period radio transients are a new class of astrophysical objects that exhibit periodic radio emission on timescales of tens of minutes. Their true nature remains unknown; possibilities include magnetic white dwarfs, binary systems, or…

Long period radio transients (LPTs) are periodic radio sources showing pulsed emission on timescales from minutes to hours. The underlying sources behind this emission are currently unclear. There are two leading candidates: neutron stars…

During the last few years there were discovered and deeply examined several transient neutron stars (Rotating Radio Transients). It is already well accepted that these objects are rotating neutron stars. But their extraordinary features…

Here I will review the high time resolution radio sky, focusing on millisecond scales. This is primarily occupied by neutron stars, the well-known radio pulsars and the recently identified group of transient sources known as Rotating RAdio…

At the moment, there are two neutron star X-ray binaries with massive red supergiants as donors. De et al. (2023) proposed that the system SWIFT J0850.8-4219 contains a neutron star at the propeller stage. We study this possibility by…

GCRT J1745-3009 is a transient bursting radio source located in the direction of the Galactic center. It was discovered in a 330 MHz VLA observation from 2002 September 30--October 1 and subsequently rediscovered in a 330 MHz GMRT…

By definition transients are sudden events, some, like supernovae, are catastrophic, while others might be due to recurrent phenomena. The aim of studying transients is to reveal the physical conditions causing them, in this sense ideal…

We report the detection of a new transient radio source, GCRT J1742-3001, located ~1 degree from the Galactic center. The source was detected ten times from late 2006 to 2007 May in our 235 MHz transient monitoring program with the Giant…

The recent discovery of a milli-second radio pulsar experiencing an accretion outburst similar to those seen in low mass X-ray binaries, has opened up a new opportunity to investigate the evolutionary link between these two different…

We present results of investigation of the poorly studied X-ray pulsar Swift J1816.7--1613 during its transition from the type I outburst to the quiescent state. Our studies are based on the data obtained from X-ray observatories…
