Such counterparts are dependably seen in the wake of comparably energetic cosmic explosions, including both stellar - scale cataclysms — supernovae,
magnetar flares, and gamma - ray bursts — and episodic or continuous accretion activity of the supermassive black holes that commonly lurk in the centers of galaxies.
Not exact matches
Two common models for gamma - ray emission from FRBs exist: one invoking magnetic
flare events from
magnetars — highly magnetized neutron stars that are the dense remnants of collapsed stars — and another invoking the catastrophic merger of two neutron stars, colliding to form a black hole.
Some believe they are explosions in distant galaxies, or
flares caused by distant
magnetars, highly magnetic pulsars that emit bursts of powerful radiation.
