A Universal Break in Energy Functions of Three Hyperactive Repeating Fast Radio Bursts by Q. Wu, F. Y. Wang, Z. Y. Zhao, P. Wang, H. Xu, Y. K. Zhang, D. J. Zhou, J. R. Niu, W. Y. Wang, S. X. Yi, Z. Q. Hua, S. B. Zhang, J. L. Han, W. W. Zhu, K. J. Lee, D. Li, X. F. Wu, Z. G. Dai, B. Zhang

“…This difference in dimensionality causes a break in the scaling properties from weak to strong FRBs, occurring at a point where the penetration depth of starquakes equals the crustal thickness. Our result, together with the earthquake-like temporal properties of these FRBs, strongly supports the idea that FRBs are triggered by starquakes, providing a new opportunity to study the physical properties of the crust of a neutron star.…”
