[论文解读] Axion Stars and Repeating Fast Radio Bursts with Finite Bandwidths
该论文提出,重复性快速射电暴(FRB),如 FRB 121102,起源于早期星系中轴子星与黑洞周围磁化吸积盘的重复碰撞。在强磁场(~10¹¹ G)中,轴子诱导的电场驱动电子相干振荡,产生单色辐射,观测到的高斯谱型因热多普勒效应而展宽,自然解释了爆发的窄带宽和可变中心频率。
We have proposed a model of non repeating fast radio bursts ( FRBs ); the collisions between axion stars and neutron stars generate the bursts. In this paper, we propose a model of repeating FRBs which shows that they arise from the several collisions between magnetized accretion disk of a black hole and an axion star orbiting the black hole. There would be many axions stars condensing as dark matter in an early stage galaxy so that such collisions arises repeatedly. The radiations are emitted by coherent oscillations of electrons in the accretion disk. The oscillations are caused by oscillating electric fields, which are induced by axion stars under strong magnetic field $\sim O(10^{11})$G. The emissions are terminated by the thermal fluctuations of the electrons which result from the thermalization of the oscillation energies. Although the radiations are monochromatic, the thermal Doppler effects broaden the spectral lines; their spectra $S(ν)$ are given by $S(ν) \propto \exp(-(ν-ν_c)^2/2(δν)^2)$ with the center frequency $ν_c$. The bandwidth $δν=ν_c\sqrt{T_c/m_e}$ with electron mass $m_e$ is determined by the critical temperature $T_c$ at which the thermal fluctuations terminate the coherent emissions. The observed bandwidths $(3\sim5) imes10^2$MHz are originated from the strong magnetic fields $\sim O(10^{11})$G. With such strong magnetic fields, large amount of the burst energies are produced. Various center frequencies $ν_c$ of the bursts in the repeating FRB 121102 come from the various rotation speeds in the disk which make an intrinsic frequency of the bursts being Doppler shifted. The recent observation showing an extreme magneto-ionic environment around the source of FRB 121102 supports our model.

主要发现
- FRB 121102 中观测到的 (3–5)×10² MHz 带宽由相干电子振荡的热多普勒展宽解释,其中 δν ∝ ν_c √(T_c / m_e)。
- 中心频率 ν_c ≈ 1.2–1.4 GHz 与轴子质量 m_a ≈ 2π × (1.2–1.4) GHz ≈ 7.5–8.8 meV 一致。
- 该模型预测非重复性 FRB 也应表现出高斯谱型 S(ν) ∝ exp[−(ν−ν_c)² / 2(δν)²],其中 ν_c = m_a / [2π(1+z)]。
- FRB 121102 中观测到的频率展宽源于不同盘面旋转速度引起的多普勒频移,而非本征谱型可变性。
- 该模型通过强磁场(~10¹¹ G)解释 FRB 的高能输出,强磁场增强轴子-光子转换与相干辐射。
- 近期对 FRB 121102 源周围高度磁化环境的探测支持了该模型关于辐射区域强磁场的预测。
