RADIO CONSTRAINTS ON LONG-LIVED MAGNETAR REMNANTS IN SHORT GAMMA-RAY BURSTS

The merger of a neutron star (NS) binary may result in the formation of a rapidly spinning magnetar. The magnetar can potentially survive for seconds or longer as a supramassive NS before collapsing to a black hole if, indeed, it collapses at all. During this process, a fraction of the magnetar'...
