自吸收同步加速器星云中快速射电暴的同步加热及其观测特征

Synchrotron heating by a fast radio burst in a self-absorbed synchrotron nebula and its observational signature

Yuan-Pei Yang, Bing Zhang, Zi-Gao Dai

摘要:

快速射电暴是一种神秘的瞬变源。如果是河外星系,正如它们相对较大的色散测量所表明的那样,它们的亮温一定非常高。一些FRB模型(如年轻脉冲星模型、磁星巨星耀斑模型、超大质量中子星坍缩模型)认为它们可能与同步加速器星云有关。在这里,我们研究了自吸收同步加速器星云中FRB的同步加热过程。如果FRB频率低于星云的同步辐射自吸收频率,星云中的电子会吸收FRB光子,导致更硬的电子光谱和增强的自吸收同步辐射。在此期间,FRB通量被星云电子吸收。我们计算了FRB加热的同步加速器星云的光谱,发现在自吸收频率附近,星云光谱在几十年内会出现一个明显的峰。识别这样的光谱特征将揭示同步加速器星云中嵌入的FRB。

英文摘要:

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are mysterious transient sources. If extragalactic, as suggested by their relative large dispersion measures, their brightness temperatures must be extremely high. Some FRB models (e.g. young pulsar model, magnetar giant flare model, or supra-massive neutron star collapse model) suggest that they may be associated with a synchrotron nebula. Here we study a synchrotron-heating process by an FRB in a self-absorbed synchrotron nebula. If the FRB frequency is below the synchrotron self-absorption frequency of the nebula, electrons in the nebula would absorb FRB photons, leading to a harder electron spectrum and enhanced self-absorbed synchrotron emission. In the meantime, the FRB flux is absorbed by the nebula electrons. We calculate the spectra of FRB-heated synchrotron nebulae, and show that the nebula spectra would show a significant hump in several decades near the self-absorption frequency. Identifying such a spectral feature would reveal an embedded FRB in a synchrotron nebula.
