The Sources of Fast Radio Bursts
J. I. Katz
This paper argues that repeating and apparently non-repeating Fast Radio Bursts are distinct classes of events produced by distinct classes of sources. I review the evidence for th…
Testing Models of Periodically Modulated FRB Activity
J. I. Katz
The activity of the repeating FRB 20180916B is periodically modulated with a period of 16.3 days, and FRB 121102 may be similarly modulated with a period of about 160 days. In some…
Searching for Galactic Micro-FRB with Lunar Scattering
J. I. Katz
Does the Galaxy contain sources of micro-FRB, lower energy events resembling the known FRB but detectable only at Galactic distances? The answer to this question is essential to de…
Are Fast Radio Bursts Made By Neutron Stars?
J. I. Katz
Popular models of repeating Fast Radio Bursts (and perhaps of all Fast Radio Bursts) involve neutron stars because of their high rotational or magnetostatic energy densities. These…
Fast Radio Bursts---A Brief Review: Some Questions, Fewer Answers
J. I. Katz
Fast Radio Bursts are millisecond bursts of radio radiation at frequencies of about 1 GHz, recently discovered in pulsar surveys. They have not yet been definitively identified wit…
How Soft Gamma Repeaters May Make Fast Radio Bursts
J. I. Katz
There are several phenomenological similarities between Soft Gamma Repeaters and Fast Radio Bursts, including duty factors, time scales and probable repetition. The sudden release…
