This formation channel is in several respects different from evolution of progenitors of normal magnetars, and thus, it explains some differences between repeating and non-repeating sources of FRBs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-06-22T08:07:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "repeating fast radio bursts", "close binary systems", "short initial spin periods", "periodicity" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 3, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
