本文发布 DSA-110 发现的首个含11个非重复 FRB 及其宿主星系的均匀目录,并据宿主恒星形成历史推断 FRB 前身星存在宽延迟时间及老年恒星起源通道。

摘要:

快速射电暴(Fast Radio Bursts,FRBs)是一类强大而神秘的新瞬变天体,其亮度足以在宇宙学距离上被探测到。通过将 FRB 与宿主星系关联,我们可以测量其内禀属性和环境属性,以检验 FRB 起源模型,同时还可将其用作遥远宇宙气体的精确探针。Deep Synoptic Array(DSA-110)是一台射电干涉仪,其建造目的是最大化同时探测和定位 FRB 的速率。在此,我们展示由 DSA-110 发现的首个 FRB 与宿主星系样本。该样本包含 11 个 FRB,是迄今为止规模最大、最均匀的已定位 FRB 样本,因为它是基于与 Pan-STARRS1 光学成像中识别出的宿主星系的关联而选取的。这些 FRB 未观测到重复,其射电属性(色散、时间散射、能量)与已知的非重复 FRB 群体相似。大多数宿主星系具有持续的恒星形成,正如此前在 FRB 宿主中已发现的那样。新样本中有两个宿主是大质量、宁静星系。该宿主星系样本中恒星形成历史的分布表明,延迟时间分布很宽,其幂律模型跨越从约100 Myr到超过2 Gyr的范围。这要求存在一个或多个与老年恒星群体相关的前身星形成通道,例如致密天体的双星演化。

英文摘要:

Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are a powerful and mysterious new class of transient that are luminous enough to be detected at cosmological distances. By associating FRBs to host galaxies, we can measure intrinsic and environmental properties that test FRB origin models, in addition to using them as precise probes of distant cosmic gas. The Deep Synoptic Array (DSA-110) is a radio interferometer built to maximize the rate at which it can simultaneously detect and localize FRBs. Here, we present the first sample of FRBs and host galaxies discovered by the DSA-110. This sample of 11 FRBs is the largest, most uniform sample of localized FRBs to date, as it is selected based on association to host galaxies identified in optical imaging by Pan-STARRS1. These FRBs have not been observed to repeat and their radio properties (dispersion, temporal scattering, energy) are similar to that of the known non-repeating FRB population. Most host galaxies have ongoing star formation, as has been identified before for FRB hosts. Two hosts of the new sample are massive, quiescent galaxies. The distribution of star-formation history across this host-galaxy sample shows that the delay-time distribution is wide, with a powerlaw model that spans from $\sim100$\,Myr to $\gtrsim2$\,Gyr. This requires the existence of one or more progenitor formation channels associated with old stellar populations, such as the binary evolution of compact objects.
