Description
I will discuss our recently-published magnetospheric model for repeating FRBs generated during short bursts in magnetars with low-twist magnetospheres. I will detail current observational evidence supporting the model. Some theoretical and heuristic expectations of phenomenology will be discussed. Finally, I will detail how the model may be tested in the future, as well as implications of what could be learned from FRBs if the model is correct.
