Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), Chinese astronomers have explored the behavior of a rotating radio transient (RRAT) known as RRAT J1574+4703. The new observations found that this object switches between RRAT and normal pulsar states. The finding was detailed in a paper published March 25 on the arXiv pre-print server.
