A pulsar-like polarization angle swing from a nearby fast radio burst
Ryan Mckinven, Mohit Bhardwaj, Tarraneh Eftekhari et al., 2025. Nature 637(8044), 43–47.
FRB 20221022A, a one-off burst from MCG+14-02-011 at about 65 Mpc, shows a 130 degree S-shaped swing of polarisation angle over 2.5 ms, well fitted by the rotating vector model used for pulsars.
What it's used for here
The second line of evidence for a magnetospheric origin of a non-repeater.
