Multiwavelength observations of Fast Radio Bursts

Understand

The origin and phenomenology of the Fast Radio Burst (FRB) remains unknown despite more than a decade of efforts.

• Though several models have been proposed to explain the observed data, none is able to explain alone the variety of events so far recorded.
• The leading models consider magnetars as potential FRB sources.
• The recent detection of FRBs from the galactic magnetar SGR J1935+2154 seems to support them.
