A Concordance Picture of FRB 121102 as a Flaring Magnetar Embedded in a Magnetized Ion–Electron Wind Nebula
Abstract The fast radio burst FRB 121102 has repeated multiple times, enabling the identification of its host galaxy and of a spatially coincident, compact, steady (“persistent”) radio synchrotron source. It was proposed that FRB 121102 is powered by a young flaring magnetar, embedded within a decades-old supernova remnant. Using a …
