QuestionsFast radio bursts and the origin of the one-off burstsIs the radio emission made in the neutron star's magnetosphere or in shocks far from it?Answer
Answer · Fast radio bursts and the origin of the one-off bursts
Synchrotron maser emission from shocks at large distances from the central engine.
Synchrotron maser emission from shocks at large distances from the central engine.
Where it stands
DisputedOne piece of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.
What it predicts
- Large emitting regions; little or no polarisation-angle swing within a burst.
What would rule it out
- Magnetospheric signatures in most well-measured bursts.
