Burst timescales and luminosities link young pulsars and fast radio bursts
K. Nimmo, J. W. T. Hessels, F. Kirsten +45
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are extragalactic radio flashes of unknown physical origin. Their high luminosities and short durations require extreme energy densities, like those found…

Quiescent X-ray variability in the neutron star Be/X-ray transient GRO J1750-27
A. Rouco Escorial, R. Wijnands, L. S. Ootes +5
The Be/X-ray transient GRO J1750-27 exhibited a type-II (giant) outburst in 2015. After the source transited to quiescence, we triggered our multi-year Chandra monitoring programme…
