Radio Time-Domain Signatures of Magnetar Birth
Abstract
We consider the implications of an emerging consensus on the origin of a diverse set of luminous astrophysical transients, such as FRBs, SLSNe, and ULGRBs. Each of these classes could be interpreted as a signature of magnetar birth. We describe how radio transients from milliseconds to gigaseconds will be used to address diverse physical questions.
