A Flaring Magnetar in FRB 121102?
Abstract The persistent radio counterpart of fast radio burst (FRB) 121102 is estimated to have <?CDATA $N\sim {10}^{52}$?> particles, energy <?CDATA ${E}_{N}\sim {10}^{48}$?> erg, and size <?CDATA $R\sim {10}^{17}$?> cm. The source can be nebula inflated and heated by an intermittent outflow from a magnetar—a neutron star powered by its …
