Two WSRT observations were performed and five archival VLA data were reduced in order to redetect the enigmatic radio transient GCRT J1745-3009. The source was not redetected. We were, however, able to extract important new information from the discovery dataset. Our reanalysis excludes models that predict symmetric bursts, but the transient white dwarf pulsar is favoured. Although we now have more contraints on the properties of this source, we are still unsure about its basic model.

GCRT J1745-3009 is a transient bursting radio source located in the direction of the Galactic center, discovered in 330 MHz VLA observations from 2002 September 30--October 1 by Hyman et al. We have searched for bursting activity from GCRT J1745-3009
in nearly all of the available 330 MHz VLA observations of the Galactic center since 1989 as well as in 2003 GMRT observations. We report a new radio detection of the source in 330 MHz GMRT data taken on 2003 September 28. A single ~0.5 Jy burst was detected, approximately 3x weaker than the five bursts detected in 2002. Due to the sparse sampling of the 2003 observation, only the decay portion of a single burst was detected. We present additional evidence indicating that this burst is an isolated one, but we cannot completely rule out additional undetected bursts that may have occured with the same ~77 min. periodicity observed in 2002 or with a different periodicity. Assuming the peak emission was detected, the decay time of the burst, ~2 min, is consistent with that determined for the 2002 bursts. Based on the total time for which we have observations, we estimate that the source has a duty cycle of roughly 10%.
We report detection of strong circularly polarized emission from the transient bursting source GCRT J1745-3009 based on new analysis of 325 MHz GMRT observations conducted on 28 September 2003. We place 8 Solar radius as the upper limit on the size o
f the emission region. The implied high brightness temperature required for an object beyond 1 pc and the high fraction of circular polarization firmly establish the emission as coherent. Electron cyclotron or plasma emission from a highly subsolar magnetically dominated dwarf located less than 4 kpc away could have given rise to the GCRT radio emission.
We present an optical/near-infrared search for a counterpart to the perplexing radio transient GCRT J1745-3009, a source located ~1 degree from the Galactic Center. Motivated by some similarities to radio bursts from nearby ultracool dwarfs, and by a
distance upper limit of 70 pc for the emission to not violate the 1e12 K brightness temperature limit for incoherent radiation, we searched for a nearby star at the position of GCRT J1745-3009. We found only a single marginal candidate, limiting the presence of any late-type star to >1 kpc (spectral types earlier than M9), >200 pc (spectral types L and T0-T4), and >100 pc (spectral types T4-T7), thus severely restricting the possible local counterparts to GCRT J1745-3009. We also exclude any white dwarf within 1 kpc or a supergiant star out to the distance of the Galactic Center as possible counterparts. This implies that GCRT J1745-3009 likely requires a coherent emission process, although whether or not it reflects a new class of sources is unclear.
GCRT J1745-3009 is a transient bursting radio source located in the direction of the Galactic center. It was discovered in a 330 MHz VLA observation from 2002 September 30--October 1 and subsequently rediscovered in a 330 MHz GMRT observation from 20
03 September 28 by Hyman et al. Here we report a new radio detection of the source in 330 MHz GMRT data taken on 2004 March 20. The observed properties of the single burst detected differ significantly from those measured previously, suggesting that GCRT J1745-3009 was detected in a new physical state. The 2004 flux density was ~0.05 Jy, ~10x weaker than the single 2003 burst and ~30x weaker than the five bursts detected in 2002. We derive a very steep spectral index, alpha = -13.5 +/- 3.0, across the bandpass, a new result previously not detectable due to limitations in the analysis of the 2002 and 2003 observations. Also, the burst was detected for only ~2 min., in contrast to the 10 min. duration observed in the earlier bursts. Due to sparse sampling, only the single burst was detected in 2004, as in the 2003 epoch, and we cannot rule out additional undetected bursts that may have occurred with the same ~77 min. periodicity observed in 2002 or with a different periodicity. Considering our total time on source throughout both our archival and active monitoring campaigns, we estimate the source exhibits detectable bursting activity ~7% of the time.
Bell suggested that a new perspective on quantum mechanics was needed. We propose a solution of the measurement problem based on a reconsideration of the nature of particles. The solution is presented with an idealized model involving non-locality or
non-separability, identified in 1927 by Einstein and implicit in the standard interpretation of single slit (or hole) diffraction. Considering particles as being localizable entities leads to an `induced collapse model, a parameter-free alternative to spontaneous collapse models, that affords a new perspective on, emph{inter alia}, nuclear decay.
