我们报告了一个新的快速射电爆发(FRB)实时发现的UTMOST项目的一部分,在莫隆格洛天文台合成射电望远镜(MOST)。FRB 170827是我们的低延迟($< 24$)、基于机器学习的FRB检测系统首次检测到的FRB。FRB的发现伴随着以观测系统的固有时间和频率分辨率捕获电压数据,从而实现了相干去色散和详细的离线分析,这些分析揭示了精细的时间和频率结构。离散度(DM)为176.80 $\pm$ 0.04 pc cm $^{-3}$,是FRB群体中最低的。银河系沿视线的贡献是$\sim$ 40 pc cm $^{-3}$,剩余的DM为$\sim$ 145 pc cm $^{-3}$。FRB的能量密度为$>$ 20 $\pm$ 7 μ ms,并且是窄的,在其最大振幅的10 $\%$处宽度为$\sim$ 400 $μ$ μ s。然而,该爆发显示了三个时间分量,最西边的是$\sim$ 30 $μ$ s,散射时间尺度为$4.1 \pm 2.7$ $μ$ s。FRB示出了在1.5MHz和0.1MHz的频率标度上的频谱调制。两者在动态光谱中都很突出,在841和843 MHz之间有一个非常明亮的发射区域,在整个波段上有较弱的片状发射。我们表明,精细的光谱结构可能出现在FRB宿主星系,或其紧邻。
英文摘要:
We report a new Fast Radio Burst (FRB) discovered in real-time as part of the UTMOST project at the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Radio Telescope (MOST). FRB170827 is the first detected with our low-latency ($< 24$ s), machine-learning-based FRB detection system. The FRB discovery was accompanied by the capture of voltage data at the native time and frequency resolution of the observing system, enabling coherent dedispersion and detailed off-line analysis, which have unveiled fine temporal and frequency structure. The dispersion measure (DM) of 176.80 $\pm$ 0.04 pc cm$^{-3}$, is the lowest of the FRB population. The Milky Way contribution along the line of sight is $\sim$ 40 pc cm$^{-3}$, leaving an excess DM of $\sim$ 145 pc cm$^{-3}$. The FRB has a fluence $>$ 20 $\pm$ 7 Jy ms, and is narrow, with a width of $\sim$ 400 $μ$s at 10$\%$ of its maximum amplitude. However, the burst shows three temporal components, the narrowest of which is $\sim$ 30 $μ$s, and a scattering timescale of $4.1 \pm 2.7$ $μ$s. The FRB shows spectral modulations on frequency scales of 1.5 MHz and 0.1 MHz. Both are prominent in the dynamic spectrum, which shows a very bright region of emission between 841 and 843 MHz, and weaker, patchy emission across the entire band. We show the fine spectral structure could arise in the FRB host galaxy, or its immediate vicinity.

An analysis of the time-frequency structure of several bursts from FRB121102 detected with MeerKAT
我们详细研究了2019年9月MeerKAT望远镜探测到的FRB 121102爆发样本的复杂时频结构。这些观测的宽连续带宽揭示了在$1250$ MHz的某些突发中的复杂分叉结构。当去分散到其结构优化的分散措施,两个突发显示出明显的偏离低于$1250$ MHz的冷等离子体分散关系。我们找到了一个差分色散措施的${\sim}1{-}2$ pc cm $^{-3}$之间的较低和较高的频率区域的每个突发。我们研究了宿主星系中${\sim}10$ AU的高斯透镜对等离子体透镜化的可能性,并证明了它们可以定性地产生一些观测到的爆发形态。其他可能的原因所观察到的频率依赖性,如法拉第延迟,也进行了讨论。然而,爆发中未分辨的子组分可能导致不正确的DM测定。因此,我们建议在单独考虑突发时要谨慎。我们分析了两个明显的爆发对的存在。这些对中的一个是向上频率漂移的潜在示例。本文还讨论了脉冲串对是回波的可能性。发现平均结构优化色散测量值为$563.5\pm 0.2 (\text{sys}) \pm 0.8 (\text{stat})$ pc cm $^{-3}$ $-$,与2018年报告的值一致。我们使用两种独立的方法来确定结构优化的色散测量的突发:DM_相位算法和自相关函数。后者$-$最初是为脉冲星分析而开发的$-$,本文首次将其应用于FRB。
