The fast radio burst luminosity function and death line in the low-twist Magnetar Model
(IOP, 2020)We explore the burst energy distribution of fast radio bursts (FRBs) in the low-twist magnetar model of Wadiasingh & Timokhin (WT19). Motivated by the power-law fluence distributions of FRB 121102, we propose an elementary ... -
Fast radio burst trains from magnetar oscillations
(IOP Publishing, 2020)Quasi-periodic oscillations inferred during rare magnetar giant flare tails were initially interpreted as torsional oscillations of the neutron star (NS) crust, and have been more recently described as global core+crust ... -
Repeating fast radio bursts from magnetars with low magnetospheric twist
(IOP Publishing, 2019)We analyze the statistics of pulse arrival times in fast radio burst (FRB) 121102 and demonstrate that they are remarkably similar to statistics of magnetar high-energy short bursts. Motivated by this correspondence, we ...
