The field of FRBs is in its fairly nascent stages and theories are abound. It is getting hard to keep abreast of the latest ideas and observations. This wiki aims to do the following: #Track published FRB theories, their predictions in different wavebands, current observational constraints, and future tests. #Serve as a discussion board to hash out finer points of theories, possible extensions and modifications. #Serve as a tracer of the zeitgeist and how (over the next decade or so) science converges on the answer(s). #Publish 'state of theory' snapshots every year (with all contributors invited to be authors). #Serve as a theory complement to the [http://frbcat.org FRB Catalogue] The FRB theory catalog and its corresponding paper are being reviewed in Physics Review.

This wiki is divided into the summary page, that concisely tabulates current FRB theories, and the individual theory discussion pages, where further discussion takes place. The summary page (i.e. this page) is editable only by administrators. All other pages are editable by anyone with an account. See [[Instruction | Instructions]] for more details. === Rules and Guidelines === [[Instruction | Click here for detailed instructions]] We expect a healthy and frank discussion of ideas on this wiki. As many of these ideas are fairly personal, arguments can get heated. We would like to remind users that this is public discussion forum. The basic rule to follow is the golden rule: ''Treat others (and others' ideas) the way you'd like to yourself or your ideas be treated''. Be fair and polite, using the same tone as a good referee report. Moderators may send warnings or ban users for not following this rule. We expect that people will use their real names and email addresses in the login. The moderators may ask you to update your user information. Follow the setup of the wiki in general — For example, if a section requests a concise summary, please keep it short. Moderators will be going through editing and wordsmithing to keep a uniform look. == Summary Table == ''Note: The low frequency radio range is defined to be from ~30 MHz to 3 GHz and the high frequency radio range is defined to be from 3 to 30 GHz.''<br> ''The table is too wide to fit on all screens — Scroll right to see other columns.'' <!-- THIS WILL AUTOGENERATE THE TABLE.
