摘要:

结合高的时间和频率分辨率的全极化光谱的快速射电暴(FRB)与知识,他们的宿主星系的属性提供了一个机会,研究产生它们的发射机制和它们的传播通过本地环境,宿主星系和星系际介质的影响。澳大利亚平方公里阵列探路者(ASKAP)望远镜提供了第一个具有这种信息的爆发集合。在本文中,我们提出了高的时间和光谱分辨率,全偏振观测的五个本地化FRB,以补充先前研究的ASKAP FRB~181112发表的结果。我们发现,每一个FRB是高度极化的,与极化分数范围从80 - 100\%,并且它们通常是由线性极化占主导地位。虽然我们的样本中的一些FRB表现出与新兴原型(即,重复的或明显不重复的),其他人表现出这两种特性,这意味着存在一个连续的FRB属性。当在高时间分辨率下检查时,我们发现我们样本中的所有FRB都有证据表明多个子成分和散射水平高于银河系的预期。我们发现不同范围的FRB属性之间没有相关性(例如,散射时间,固有宽度和旋转测量)和它们的宿主星系的任何全局属性。最严重的散射爆发位于其宿主星系的外围,这表明源本地环境而不是宿主星际介质可能是我们样本中散射的主要来源。

英文摘要:

Combining high time and frequency resolution full-polarisation spectra of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) with knowledge of their host galaxy properties provides an opportunity to study both the emission mechanism generating them and the impact of their propagation through their local environment, host galaxy, and the intergalactic medium. The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope has provided the first ensemble of bursts with this information. In this paper, we present the high time and spectral resolution, full polarisation observations of five localised FRBs to complement the results published for the previously studied ASKAP FRB~181112. We find that every FRB is highly polarised, with polarisation fractions ranging from 80 -- 100\%, and that they are generally dominated by linear polarisation. While some FRBs in our sample exhibit properties associated with an emerging archetype (i.e., repeating or apparently non-repeating), others exhibit characteristic features of both, implying the existence of a continuum of FRB properties. When examined at high time resolution, we find that all FRBs in our sample have evidence for multiple sub-components and for scattering at a level greater than expected from the Milky Way. We find no correlation between the diverse range of FRB properties (e.g., scattering time, intrinsic width, and rotation measure) and any global property of their host galaxy. The most heavily scattered bursts reside in the outskirts of their host galaxies, suggesting that the source-local environment rather than the host interstellar medium is likely the dominant origin of the scattering in our sample.
