Abstract (from CDS):

We present 1.25 GHz observations of the rotating radio transient (RRAT) J2325-0530, conducted with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope. Approximately 60% of detected single pulses occur in clusters of two to five consecutive bursts. Consequently, the waiting-time distribution between successive single pulses exhibits a pronounced excess at one rotation period, deviating from the exponential distribution expected for a Poisson process. After grouping consecutive bursts into single emission events, the recalculated waiting-time distribution is well described by a Weibull distribution with a shape parameter k ≳ 1. Monte Carlo simulations incorporating both intrinsic burst on-windows and rotational modulation successfully reproduce the observed one-rotation excess. These results suggest that RRAT J2325-0530 emits through a quasi-random process with on-windows slightly longer than its spin period, modulated by the rotation of the emission beam. Additionally, the polarization position angle shows complex behavior that cannot be fully described by the standard rotating vector model, and several pulses exhibit quasiperiodic microstructures. Taken together, these features indicate complex magnetospheric dynamics underlying the sporadic emission behavior of RRAT J2325-0530.
