Implications for Models
Occurance Rates
Is the radio transient part of the population of previous FRBs?
Lifetime
Energy budget
Time averaged radio luminosity
Lifetime
No galactic magnetar is as potent as cosmic FRB sources
Exotic formation channel? (SLSNe, AIC)
Event Rate
Prospect for Extragalactic Detection
Energy Distribution
Theoretical Models
Low Twist Model
Why is it important that the twist is low?
otherwise burst is masked
Transient Features
Time changing linear polarisation angle
Simultaneous x ray and radio
Blackbody x ray spectrum
Comparable energy in X rays and radio
Other Magnetospheric Models have similar Issues
curvature radiation
Outflow interaction with the magnetosphere
Spindown models
Similar X -ray and radio energies
changes in period?
Synchrotron Maser Blast Wave
Coherent Emission
Stimulated Emission
Antenna emission
Synchronisation
Cyclotron Maser in Relativistic Shock waves
Precursor wave
Suppression of Low Frequencies
Relativistic cyclotron frequency
The reason such low frequencies were never observed is that they are up - scattered by induced Compton
X-Ray Emission from Shocks
Incoherent synchrotron
Magnetar Environment
Where exactly does the shock occur?
At the nebula - remnant interface
Lower radio to X-ray luminosity ratio compared to FRB200428
Collision with previously ejected material
can be made to fit X-ray to luminosity ratio
Model Postdictions
Conclusion
Association of SGR1935-20 with other FRBs is inconclusive
Magnetar models where the emissions happens inside the magnetosphere produce a radio to X-ray luminosity ratio that is too high
Shock wave at the nebula - remnant boundary produce a ratio that is too small
Internal shocks can reproduce this ratio and also the peak X-ray photon energy
