摘要:

我们介绍了澳大利亚望远镜紧凑阵列(ATCA),Jansky甚大阵列(JVLA)和巨型米波望远镜对星系WISE~J071634.59-190039.2内射电源的观测,Keane等人声称是FRB~150418的宿主(2016)。我们已经建立了一个共同的通量密度尺度之间的ATCA和JVLA的观测,其主要结果是增加的通量密度得到的Keane等人。在5.5 GHz的频率,源的平均通量密度为140 uJy,是可变的调制指数为0.36的短时间尺度。对流量密度的统计分析表明,所看到的变化与星系中心弱活动星系核的折射星际闪烁一致。因此,FRB和星系可能没有关联。然而,考虑到无线电天空中高度可变的源的罕见性,以及我们对FRB的祖先作为一个类别的知识的缺乏,WISE~J071634.59-190039.2和FRB~150418之间的关联仍然是可能的。

英文摘要:

We present observations made with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), the Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) and the Giant Metre-Wave Telescope of the radio source within the galaxy WISE~J071634.59-190039.2, claimed to be host of FRB~150418 by Keane et al. (2016). We have established a common flux density scale between the ATCA and JVLA observations, the main result of which is to increase the flux densities obtained by Keane et al. At a frequency of 5.5 GHz, the source has a mean flux density of 140uJy and is variable on short timescales with a modulation index of 0.36. Statistical analysis of the flux densities shows that the variations seen are consistent with refractive interstellar scintillation of the weak active galactic nucleus at the centre of the galaxy. It may therefore be the case that the FRB and the galaxy are not associated. However, taking into account the rarity of highly variable sources in the radio sky, and our lack of knowledge of the progenitors of FRBs as a class, the association between WISE~J071634.59-190039.2 and FRB~150418 remains a possibility.
