#SciFi : Ken Macleod's Learning the World with the advancing wave of green stars points up the idea that the Dyson sphere is less a solid structure than an accumulation of habitats, machines etc.
(Sphere might not be the shape either)
Larry #Niven's #NeutronStar short story points up one problem of near-point masses, tidal forces. One's personal #RocheLimit is best avoided.
Niven again, and the #SmokeRing and #IntegralTrees is interesting wrt a neutron star and habitability. -
#FastRadioBursts originate near the surface of stars
Rare burst indicates #FRB likely originate near the star and that they share a feature with emissions of #pulsars, another subtype of #neutronstar.
Data regarding #FRB20221022A seem pretty clear, Key question is whether this particular FRB tells us much about all other FRBs observed, including those from repeating sources. It remains entirely possible more than one type of event produces something that looks like an FRB
