A living theory catalogue for fast radio bursts

E Platts, A Weltman, A Walters, SP Tendulkar… - Physics Reports, 2019 - Elsevier
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 …

Fast radio bursts: the last sign of supramassive neutron stars

H Falcke, L Rezzolla - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2014 - aanda.org

The discovery and scientific potential of fast radio bursts

M Bailes - Science, 2022 - science.org
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-time-scale bursts of coherent radio emission that
are luminous enough to be detectable at cosmological distances. In this Review, I describe …
