The Emission Properties of RRAT J0139+3336 at 1.25 GHz

Rotating Radio Transients are a relatively new subclass of pulsar characterized by sporadic bursting emission of single pulses. Here, we present a single-pulse analysis of a rotating radio transient, RRAT J0139+3336, using Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope at 1250 MHz. Within 3.32 hr of continuous observation, 152 single pulses were detected in RRAT J0139+3336, with the pulse rate of 45 pulses per hour. We perform a spectral analysis on the single pulses of this pulsar for the first time, finding its mean spectral indices to be -3.2 +/- 0.2, which is steeper than most known pulsars. On a single-pulse basis, we produce the first polarimetric profile of this pulsar, which fits well with the rotating vector model. The single pulses are clearly affected by diffractive scintillation with a characteristic scintillation bandwidth of v (sc) = 28 +/- 9 MHz. The pulse energy distribution for RRAT J0139+3336 can be described by a log-normal model.
