Description
A detailed investigation of the environments in which bursts occur is one of the most promising approaches to shed light on these mysterious phenomena. Observations of a limited number of events suggest multiple progenitor channels, resulting in distinct locations, local environments, and host galaxy properties. The recent discovery of persistent radio sources associated with FRB 20201124A and FRB 20240114A supports the nebular model for the continuum emission, narrowing down the progenitor candidates to magnetars (favoured) or hyperaccreting X-ray binaries. In the near future, the advent of new dedicated radio facilities is expected to deliver dozens of arcsecond-level localized FRBs per year, significantly improving the statistics on host galaxies and continuum counterparts. This talk will review the current developments and future prospects for the characterization of persistent radio sources with the SKA.
