Description
The galactic magnetar SGR 1935+2154 provided on April 28, 2020 the first observational evidence for a connection between magnetars and FRBs. Since then this magnetar has attracted much interest and several observational campaigns and detailed studies of its behavior have been performed.
This has also been facilitated by the fact that SGR 1935+2154 has been the most active magnetars in the last years. I will review these results discussing the relevance of SGR 1935+2154 and other galactic magnetars for our understanding of FRBs.
