Model Description
This model considers FRBs from magnetars born in NS-NS mergers and accretion induced WD collapse. The FRBs themselves are formed by the same mechanism as that of giant flare FRB theories.
Observational Constraints
Persistent synchrotron radio emission with timescales of months to years from the nebula or on longer timescales when the merger ejecta interacts with the ISM, but is shorter than for the SLSNe/LGRBs.
Using FRB 121102 to calibrate the model, the expected DM, RM and persistent radio emission is consistent with the upper limits of FRB 180924. FRBs from NS-NS magnetars distinct host galaxy and spatial offset distributions than the SLSNe/LGRB channel; we anticipate asimilar host population, although possibly different offset distribution for AIC events.
