Orbital Modulation Model of Fast Radio Burst

Caption

Artist's impression of an orbital modulation model where the FRB progenitor (blue) is in an orbit with a companion astrophysical object (pink). The type of companion star is not know but models exist which suggest that it could be anything from a black hole to a massive star. Figure credits: Kristi Mickaliger."
