Over 15 years after their discovery, the nature of fast radio burst (FRB) sources still eludes our understanding. To date their bright, coherent radio emission has no detected counterparts outside of the radio band, with the exception of the FRB-like flares emitted by the galactic magnetar SGR 1935+215. These lended support, among the countless proposed interpretations, to the idea that FRB...
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) have, since their first detection, ranked among the most puzzling events in the sky owing to the extreme energies involved and the presence of both repeating and non-repeating sources: 15 years and thousands of bursts later, their emission mechanism still eludes us. I will present a new unified model for FRBs as magnetospheric events from neutron stars which naturally...
