Repeating fast radio bursts from neutron star binaries: Multiband and multimessenger opportunities

Multi-messenger astrophysics of black holes and neutron stars as probed by ground-based gravitational wave detectors: from present to future

“…A key related open questions is whether NS mergers may power a fraction of fast radio bursts (FRBs; Lorimer et al, 2007;Thornton et al, 2013;Zhang, 2014;Williams and Berger, 2016;Paschalidis and Ruiz, 2019;Rowlinson et al, 2019;Zhang, 2020;Wada et al, 2020;Chen Z.-L. et al, 2023;Pan et al, 2023). Observationally, while high-energy precursors have been observed in short (and long) GRBs (Lazzati, 2005;Burlon et al, 2008;Troja et al, 2010;Zhong et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2020;Petroff et al, 2022;Dichiara et al, 2023), it is still a matter of debate whether these precursors have a different origin from that of the GRB itself, or are rather just a manifestation of the variable GRB emission (Charisi et al, 2015;Xiao et al, 2022).…”
