Model Description

This theory posits that an FRB could be formed when a supernova shock interacts with the magnetosphere of a NS in a binary system. When the shock encounters the NS magnetosphere, it sweeps out a magnetospheric tail, which triggers reconnection and hence emission.

Observational Constraints

A GRB is expected, but with a low flux that may be difficult to detect. A core-collapse supernova is expected to be coincident with the FRB.
