The observed millisecond-scale duration is an essential yet mysterious feature of fast radio bursts (FRBs). In this Letter, we link the observed soft gamma-ray counterpart of FRB 200428 to electron-positron pair cascades driven by Compton…

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the most tantalizing mysteries of the radio sky; their progenitors and origins remain unknown and until now no rapid multiwavelength follow-up of an FRB has been possible. New instrumentation has…

Magnetic flares create hot relativistic shocks outside the light cylinder radius of a magnetised star. Radio emission produced in such a shock or at a radius smaller than the shock undergoes free-free absorption while passing through the…
