An assessment of the association between a fast radio burst and binary neutron star merger

Zhang, Bing; Moroianu, Alexandra; Wen, Linqing +4 more

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are bright millisecond-duration radio bursts at cosmological distances. While young magnetars are the leading source candidate, recent observations suggest that there may be multiple FRB progenitor classes. Here we investigate a potential coincidence between a binary neutron star merger event, GW190425, and a bright, non-r…
