Recently a repeating fast radio burst (FRB) 121102 has been confirmed to be an extragalactic event and a persistent radio counterpart has been identified. While other possibilities are not ruled out, the emission properties are broadly consistent with Murase et al. (2016) that theoretically proposed quasi-steady radio emission as a counterpart of both FRBs and pulsar-driven supernovae. Here we constrain the model parameters of such a young neutron star scenario for FRB 121102. If the associated supernova has a conventional ejecta mass of $M_{\rm ej}\gtrsim{\rm a \ few}\ M_\odot$, a neutron star with an age of $t_{\rm age} \sim 10-100 \ \rm yrs$, an initial spin period of $P_{i} \lesssim$ a few ms, and a dipole magnetic field of $B_{\rm dip} \lesssim {\rm a \ few} \times 10^{13} \ \rm G$ can be compatible with the observations. However, in this case, the magnetically-powered scenario may be favored as an FRB energy source because of the efficiency problem in the rotation-powered scenario. On the other hand, if the associated supernova is an ultra-stripped one or the neutron star is born by the accretion-induced collapse with $M_{\rm ej} \sim 0.1 \ M_\odot$, a younger neutron star with $t_{\rm age} \sim 1-10$ yrs can be the persistent radio source and might produce FRBs with the spin-down power. These possibilities can be distinguished by the decline rate of the quasi-steady radio counterpart.

FRB 190520B embedded in a magnetar wind nebula and supernova remnant: luminous persistent radio source, decreasing dispersion measure and large rotation measure
最近,FRB 190520 B被500米口径球面射电望远镜(FAST)发现,具有最大的河外色散测量(DM)。DM超过星系际介质和银河系的贡献估计为$\sim 900$ pc cm $^{-3}$,这是近十倍高于其他快速射电暴(FRB)的主机星系。DM以每天$\sim0.1$ pc cm $^{-3}$的速率降低。它是第二个与紧凑持续射电源(PRS)相关的FRB。发现旋转度量(RM)大于$1.8 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{rad} ~\mathrm{m}^{-2}$。在这封信中,我们认为FRB 190520 B是由大质量恒星的核心坍缩形成的年轻magentar提供动力,嵌入在磁星风星云(MWN)和超新星遗迹(SNR)的复合物中。磁星的能量注入驱动MWN和SN喷出物一起演化,PRS由MWN的同步辐射产生。磁星的内部磁场为$B_{\text{int}}\sim (2-4)\times 10^{16}$ G,年龄为$t_{\text{age}}\sim 14-22$ yr。致密的SN喷出物和冲击壳贡献了所观察到的DM和RM的很大一部分。我们的模型可以很自然地同时解释FRB 190520 B的发光PRS、下降DM和极端RM。

快速射电暴(FRB)的色散扫描被用来探测星系际介质中的电离重子含量,它被认为是控制总的河外色散的主要因素。虽然主星系的色散措施(DM)的贡献似乎是最FRB的小,在至少一种情况下,有极端的磁离子局部环境和紧凑的持久性射电源的证据。在这里,我们报告的检测和定位的重复FRB 20190520 B,这是一个紧凑的,持久的无线电源,并与矮宿主星系的高比恒星形成率在红移$z=0.241\pm0.001$。估计的宿主星系DM $\approx 903^{+72}_{-111}$ pc cm $^{-3}$,近一个数量级高于平均的FRB宿主星系,远远超过DM的星系际介质的贡献。因此,在没有准确的宿主星系识别的情况下,推断FRB的红移是有必要的。

An extreme magneto-ionic environment associated with the fast radio burst source FRB 121102
快速射电暴(英语:Fast radio burst,缩写为FRB)是一种毫秒级的、未知物理来源的河外射电闪光。FRB 121102是唯一已知的重复FRB源,它位于一个红移z = 0.193的矮星系的恒星形成区,在空间上与一个紧凑的持久射电源重合。爆发的起源,持续源的性质,以及当地环境的属性仍然存在争议。在这里,我们展示了在源坐标系中,在极高且可变的法拉第旋转测量下,除了窄的(< 30 μ s)时间结构外,在相隔7个月的历元上,在RM_src = +1.46 x 10^5 rad m^-2和+1.33 x 10^5 rad m^-2时,显示出~100%线偏振发射的爆发。FRB 121102的大的和可变的旋转测量表明,它是在一个极端的和动态的磁离子环境,而短的爆发持续时间主张中子星的起源。到目前为止,只有在大质量黑洞(M_BH > 10^4 MSun)附近才能观测到如此大的自转量。事实上,持久射电源的性质与低光度、吸积的大质量黑洞的性质是相容的。因此,爆发可能来自这样环境中的中子星。然而,观察到的特性也可以用其他模型来解释,例如围绕着年轻中子星的高磁化风星云或超新星遗迹。
