Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration radio bursts with unidentified extra-galactic origin. Some FRBs exhibit mild magneto-ionic environmental variations, possibly attributed to plasma turbulence or binary configuration. We…

A repeating source of fast radio bursts (FRBs) is recently discovered from a globular cluster of M81. Association to a globular cluster (or other old stellar systems) suggests that strongly magnetized neutron stars, which are the most…

Observationally, fast radio bursts (FRBs) can be divided into repeating and apparently non-repeating (one-off) ones. It is unclear whether all FRBs repeat and whether there are genuine non-repeating FRBs. We attempt to address these…
