Predicting the Rate of Fast Radio Bursts in Globular Clusters from Binary Black Hole Observations

The repeating fast radio burst (FRB) source in an old globular cluster (GC) in M81 proves that FRBs, which are typically associated with young magnetars, can also occur in old stellar populations. A potential explanation is super-Chandrasekhar binary white dwarf (BWD) coalescences, which may produce...
