AI总结:

利用EVN在5和8 GHz观测,确认FRB 20190417A的致密射电源具有非热性质和平坦谱(α=-0.19±0.29),支持星云起源,并限制FRB 20181030A的候选PRS具有陡谱。

摘要:

我们旨在确认与重复快速射电暴(FRBs)相关的候选持续射电源(PRSs)的致密性质并限制其射电谱。我们利用欧洲VLBI网络(EVN)在5和8 GHz对近期VLA巡天中识别的两个候选体进行了观测。我们在毫角秒分辨率下测量了流量密度和上限,并将其与已发表的低频VLBI数据结合,以推导谱约束。我们在5 GHz探测到与FRB 20190417A相关的致密源,流量密度为$150\pm45$ uJy,而在8 GHz未探测到。该源未分辨,亮温度$T_{\rm b}>10^{5}$ K,证实其非热性质。将我们的测量与1.4 GHz的VLBI数据结合,我们推导出谱指数$\alpha = -0.19 \pm 0.29$,与近乎平坦的谱一致。这使得FRB 20190417A成为第二个利用VLBI数据约束谱指数的PRS。推断的光度将该源置于提出的$L_{\nu}$-|RM|关系上。包含该源后,散点为$\sigma_\Delta = 0.65$,对应$\hat{\alpha}|\epsilon| = 1.5 \pm 0.7$,与自由膨胀阶段的前向激波或年轻脉冲星风云一致。对于与FRB 20181030A相关的候选PRS,我们报告了5 GHz的80 uJy和8 GHz的150 uJy上限,对应$L_{5\\,\mathrm{GHz}} \lesssim 3.8 \times 10^{25}\\ {\rm erg\\ s^{-1}\\ Hz^{-1}}$,如果VLA发射来自致密成分,则意味着陡谱指数($\alpha \lesssim -1.2$)。我们的结果强调了VLBI在分离FRB引擎的致密发射中的重要性,并提供了毫角秒分辨率下PRS的少数谱约束之一。FRB 20190417A与$L_{\nu}$-|RM|关系的一致性支持持续发射的星云起源。

英文摘要:

We aim to confirm the compact nature and constrain the radio spectra of candidate persistent radio sources (PRSs) associated with repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs). We performed European VLBI Network (EVN) observations at 5 and 8 GHz targeting two candidates identified in a recent VLA survey. We measured flux densities and upper limits at milliarcsecond resolution and combined them with published VLBI data at lower frequencies to derive spectral constraints. We detect a compact source associated with FRB 20190417A at 5 GHz with a flux density of $150\pm45$ uJy, while no detection is obtained at 8 GHz. The source is unresolved and has a brightness temperature $T_{\rm b}>10^{5}$ K, confirming its non-thermal nature. Combining our measurement with VLBI data at 1.4 GHz, we derive a spectral index $α= -0.19 \pm 0.29$, consistent with a nearly flat spectrum. This makes FRB 20190417A only the second PRS with a spectral index constrained using VLBI data. The inferred luminosity places the source on the proposed $L_ν$-|RM| relation. Including this source yields a scatter of $σ_Δ= 0.65$, corresponding to $\hatα|ε| = 1.5 \pm 0.7$, consistent with forward shocks in the free-expansion phase or young pulsar wind nebulae. For the candidate PRS associated with FRB 20181030A, we report upper limits of 80 uJy at 5 GHz and 150 uJy at 8 GHz, corresponding to $L_{5\,\mathrm{GHz}} \lesssim 3.8 \times 10^{25}\ {\rm erg\ s^{-1}\ Hz^{-1}}$, and implying a steep spectral index ($α\lesssim -1.2$) if the VLA emission arises from a compact component. Our results highlight the importance of VLBI in isolating compact emission from FRB engines and provide one of the few spectral constraints for PRSs at milliarcsecond resolution. The consistency of FRB 20190417A with the $L_ν$-|RM| relation supports a nebular origin for the persistent emission.
