Model Description
Axion clumps with masses below the stellar range, known as Axion Bose Clusters or “miniclusters”, have been considered as FRB progenitors. In the strong magnetic field of a compact object, an instability may arise in a minicluster, causing it to explosively decay into photons via a synchrotron maser mechanism.
