摘要:

快速射电暴(FRB)是一种毫秒级的无线电波闪光,在数十亿光年的距离上都可以看到。它们的祖先的性质和发射机制仍然是天体物理学的一个悬而未决的问题。在这里,我们报告了多分量FRB 20191221 A的检测,并确定了其分量之间的216.8(1)ms周期性间隔,其显著性为6.5 sigmas。长(~3 s)持续时间和形成脉冲轮廓的9个或更多个分量使该源成为FRB群体中的离群值。如此短的周期性为该事件的中子星起源提供了强有力的证据。此外,我们的探测有利于从中子星磁层产生的发射,而不是发射区域位于更远离恒星,如一些模型所预测的。

英文摘要:

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration flashes of radio waves that are visible at distances of billions of light-years. The nature of their progenitors and their emission mechanism remain open astrophysical questions. Here we report the detection of the multi-component FRB 20191221A and the identification of a periodic separation of 216.8(1) ms between its components with a significance of 6.5 sigmas. The long (~3 s) duration and nine or more components forming the pulse profile make this source an outlier in the FRB population. Such short periodicity provides strong evidence for a neutron-star origin of the event. Moreover, our detection favours emission arising from the neutron-star magnetosphere, as opposed to emission regions located further away from the star, as predicted by some models.
