The magnetar model's energy crisis for a prolific repeating fast radio burst source
Jun-Shuo Zhang, Tian-Cong Wang, Pei Wang +61
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are widely considered to originate from magnetars that power the explosion through releasing magnetic energy. Active repeating FRBs have been seen to produ…

The EMPI Code for Plasma-Induced Effects on Radio Waves I: Non-Magnetized Media and Applications to Fast Radio Bursts
Nan Xu, He Gao, Yuan-Pei Yang +4
Electromagnetic waves undergo modifications as they propagate through plasma. We present EMPI (ElectroMagnetic-wave Plasma Interaction), a three-dimensional numerical framework des…
