The recent CHIME/FRB and STARE2 detection of an extremely bright (fluence ~MJy ms) radio burst from the Galactic magnetar SGR 1935+2154 supports the hypothesis that (some) fast radio bursts (FRBs) are emitted by magnetars at cosmological distances.

The first binary neutron star merger, detected through both electromagnetic radiation and gravitational waves on the 17th of August 2017, raised the question whether a narrow relativistic jet or a more isotropic outflow was launched as a consequence of the merger.
