X-Ray Emission Properties of a Compact Symmetric Object Sample by Ying-Ying Gan, Su Yao, Tan-Zheng Wu, Hai-Ming Zhang, Jin Zhang

“…None of the CSOs in our sample have ${N}_{{\rm{H}}}^{{\rm{int}}}$ > 10 ^23 cm ^−2 , indicating that the X-ray emission in these CSOs is not highly obscured. The distribution of Γ _X for these CSOs closely resembles that observed in a sample of radio-loud quasars and low-excitation radio galaxies (RGs). …”

Hyperactive Repeating Fast Radio Bursts from Rotation-modulated Starquakes on Magnetars by Jia-Wei Luo, Jia-Rui Niu, Wei-Yang Wang, Yong-Kun Zhang, De-Jiang Zhou, Heng Xu, Pei Wang, Chen-Hui Niu, Zhen-Hui Zhang, Shuai Zhang, Ce Cai, Jin-Lin Han, Di Li, Ke-Jia Lee, Wei-Wei Zhu, Bing Zhang

“…We also show that our model can reproduce the waiting time distribution of a pulsar phase of the galactic magnetar SGR J1935+2154 with a larger inclination angle than the hyperactive repeaters, which could explain the detection of spin period and the relatively low observed energy for FRBs from the magnetar. …”
