Fast Radio Bursts
The origin and mechanisms of Fast Radio Bursts remain enigmatic.
These events, mostly from the distant Universe but one at 3.6 Mpc and
another within our Galaxy, have typical durations of 1--10 ms but temporal
structure down to tens of ns and brightness temperatures $\sim 10^{36}$ K,
comparable to those of pulsars. Some FRB sources have been observed to
repeat thousands of times but others appear not to repeat. I will discuss
possible source models and how to test them.
