Synthesizing the repeating FRB population using frbpoppy

Understand

The observed Fast Radio Burst (FRB) population can be divided into one-off and repeating FRB sources.

• Either this division is a true dichotomy of the underlying sources, or selection effects and low activity prohibit us from observing repeat pulses from all constituents making up the FRB source population.
• We attempt to break this degeneracy through FRB population synthesis.
• With that aim we extend frbpoppy, which earlier only handled one-off FRBs, to also simulate repeaters.
