Sudden discharge of young charged magnetars as a new model for FRBs
Marcio G. B. de Avellar, Pedro P. B. Beaklini, Sílvia P. Nunes +2
We propose a new model for Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) based on a sudden discharge of a charged young magnetar, caused by the short falling timescale of oppositely charged particles o…

Redback/Black Widow Systems as progenitors of the highest neutron star masses and low-mass Black Holes
J. E. Horvath, A. Bernardo, L. S. Rocha +3
We suggest in this note that "spider" systems are the naturally expected progenitors of the highest neutron star masses, and possibly low-mass black holes, based on their long-term…
