论文摘要
快速的无线电爆发是无线电天空中普遍存在的神秘毫秒瞬变瞬变。近年来,数据的迅速积累促进了人们对这些事件的潜在物理机制的理解。从伽马射线爆发和无线电脉冲星的附近领域获得的知识也提供了洞察力。在这里,我在这里回顾了这个快速移动场中的发展。辐射模型的两种通用类别都引起了紧凑型物体(中子恒星或黑洞)的磁层,或者是从此类物体引起的相对论冲击的磁层。最近发现与柔软的伽马射线中继器相关的银河快速无线电爆发的发现表明,磁铁发动机至少可以产生一些,甚至可能全部快速无线电爆发。不需要其他可能产生快速无线电爆发的引擎,但也不是不可能的。
Fast radio bursts are mysterious millisecond-duration transients prevalent in the radio sky. Rapid accumulation of data in recent years has facilitated an understanding of the underlying physical mechanisms of these events. Knowledge gained from the neighboring fields of gamma-ray bursts and radio pulsars also offered insight. Here I review developments in this fast-moving field.Two generic categories of radiation model invoking either magnetospheres of compact objects (neutron stars or black holes) or relativistic shocks launched from such objects have been much debated. The recent detection of a Galactic fast radio burst in association with a soft gamma-ray repeater suggests that magnetar engines can produce at least some, and probably all, fast radio bursts. Other engines that could produce fast radio bursts are not required, but are also not impossible.
