From rare events to a population: Discovering overlooked extragalactic magnetar giant flare candidates in archival Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor data

Magnetar giant flares (MGFs) are rare, extremely bright bursts of gamma rays from highly magnetized neutron stars. These events are challenging to identify because, at extragalactic distances, they can appear similar to other astrophysical phenomena. Only a handful have been confidently identified t...
