At present, we have almost as many theories to explain Fast Radio Bursts as we have Fast
Radio Bursts observed. This landscape will be changing rapidly with CHIME/FRB, recently …

Magnetars are young and highly magnetized neutron stars that display a wide array of X-ray
activity including short bursts, large outbursts, giant flares, and quasi-periodic oscillations …

Fast radio bursts are millisecond-duration, extragalactic radio flashes of unknown physical
origin,,. The only known repeating fast radio burst source,,—FRB 121102—has been …

Magnetars are the strongest magnets in the present universe and the combination of
extreme magnetic field, gravity and density makes them unique laboratories to probe current …

Magnetars younger than one century are expected to be hyperactive: besides winds
powered by rotation, they can generate frequent magnetic flares, which launch powerful …

Bursts of millisecond duration were recently discovered in the 1 GHz band. There is a strong
evidence that they come from∼ 1 Gpc distances, which implies extraordinary high …

Two types of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are observed: short-duration hard spectrum GRBs
and long-duration soft spectrum GRBs. For many years long GRBs were the focus of intense …

Pulsars steadily dissipate their rotational energy via relativistic winds. Confinement of these
outflows generates luminous pulsar wind nebulae, seen across the electromagnetic …

There has recently been growing evidence for the existence of neutron stars possessing
magnetic fields with strengths that exceed the quantum critical field strength of 4.4× 10 13 G …
