Polarized light yields fresh insight into mysterious #fastradiobursts
Events we've been lumping together as #FRB could actually be the product of two different events. The repeating events occur in the environment around a #magnetar. The one-shot events are triggered by the death of a highly magnetized #neutronstar within a few hours of its formation. #Astronomers announced the detection of a possible #blitzar potentially associated with an FRB last year.
