# 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.
