I found four Perytons when I searched for non-repetitive, dispersed radio bursts in the archival Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey. The motivation was to understand this population better, including “Rotating Radio Transients” (RRATs), “Fast Radio Bursts” (FRBs) and “Perytons”. RRATs are radio pulsars which can be detected in single-pulse searches more easily than periodicity searches. It is now believed that these are extreme examples of the radio pulsar population, and their pulsed emissions are…

order for that to happen. Being fast is not easily definable but you know when an organization is slow or unresponsive. We are admittedly the victims of a culture that is technologically advanced and has an expectation of quick quality service.
