Searching for Periodicity in FRB 20240114A
J. I. Katz
FRB 20240114A is extraordinarily active, and therefore presents an opportunity to search for the periodicity predicted by magnetar models of Fast Radio Bursts (FRB). Zhang, et al.…
Collimation of Fast Radio Burster 20201124A; Repeaters vs. Apparent Non-Repeaters
J. I. Katz
The recent report of a period in the active repeating Fast Radio Burster 20201124A and of its spindown rate place bounds on the solid angle of its emission on the basis of energeti…
Comparative Statistics of Solar Flares and Flare Stars
J. I. Katz, M. Bharmal, M. Ju +1
The distribution of interval times between recurrent discrete events, such as Solar and stellar flares, reflects their underlying dynamics. Log-normal functions provide good fits t…
Photon Interval Statistics Measure Rapid Variability
J. I. Katz, M. Nowak
Modern X-ray and gamma-ray observatories time-tag detected photons. The distribution of intervals between successive photons may reveal variations of the flux on time scales too sh…
