A pulsar-like swing in the polarisation position angle of a nearby fast radio burst

A pulsar-like swing in the polarisation position angle of a nearby fast radio burst

Abstract Fast radio bursts (FRBs) last for milliseconds and arrive at Earth from cosmological distances. While their origin(s) and emission mechanism(s) are presently unknown, their signals bear similarities with the much less luminous radio emission generated by pulsars within our Galaxy and several lines of evidence point toward neutron star …
