Fast Radio Bursts

High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena 2018-08-22 v3

Abstract

More than a decade after their discovery, astronomical Fast Radio Bursts remain enigmatic. They are known to occur at "cosmological" distances, implying large energy and radiated power, extraordinarily high brightness and coherent emission. Yet their source objects, the means by which energy is released and their radiation processes remain unknown. This review is organized around these unanswered questions.
