Clumpy jets from black hole-massive star binaries as engines of Fast Radio Bursts
arXiv:1811.11146 · doi:10.1093/mnras/sty3231
Abstract
We propose a new model of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) based on stellar mass black hole-massive star binaries. We argue that the inhomogeneity of the circumstellar materials or/and the time varying wind activities of the stellar companion will cause the black hole to accrete at a transient super-Eddington rate. The collision among the clumpy ejecta in the resulted jet could trigger plasma instability. As a result, the plasma in the jet will emit coherent curvature radiation. When the jet cone aims toward the observer, the apparent luminosity can be \,erg/s. The duration of the resulted flare is millisecond. The high event rate of the observed non-repeating FRBs can be explained. A similar scenario in the vicinity of a supermassive black hole can be used to explain the interval distribution of the repeating source FRB121102 qualitatively.
