Abstract

We report two new radio transients at high Galactic latitude, WJN J0951+3300 (RA=09h51m22s+/-10s, DE=33{deg}00'+/-0.4{deg}, b=50{deg}54.2') and WJN J1039+3300 (RA=10h39m26s+/-10s, DE=33{deg}00'+/-0.4{deg}, b=60{deg}58.5'), which were detected by interferometric drift-scan observations at 1.4GHz at the Waseda Nasu Pulsar Observatory. WJN J0951+3300 was detected at 16:49:32UT on 2006 January 12 with the flux density of approximately 1760.5+/-265.9mJy, and WJN J1039+3300 was detected at 17:13:32UT on 2006 January 18 with the flux density of approximately 2242.5+/-228.7mJy. Both of them lasted for a short duration (<=2 days). The possibility that the distribution of the WJN radio transients is isotropic was suggested in a previous study. Having re-evaluated the log N-log S relation with the addition of the two new objects reported in this paper, we find that the slope is consistent with a slope of -1.5 and the previous result. Additionally, although there are several counterparts to WJN radio transients, we found that one of the quasar counterparts within the positional error of WJN J0951+3300 could be a radio-loud quasar. We have discussed whether or not WJN J0951+3300 could be of this quasar origin.
