Are Repeaters Prevalent Among the Known Fast Radio Burst Sources?
Xiao-Fei Dong, Qing Pan, Yong-Feng Huang +10
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond radio pulses of unknown origin. Despite extensive follow-up observations, only of FRBs have been confirmed as repeaters. It remai…
Depolarization Induced by Rapid Polarization Angle Swings: A Common Feature of Pulsars and Fast Radio Bursts?
Yu-Chen Huang, Jie-Shuang Wang, Song-Bo Zhang +1
The polarization angle (PA) of pulsars and fast radio bursts (FRBs) provides a useful diagnostic of the magnetic fields in their emission regions and is therefore crucial for under…
X-rays breaking out of pre-explosion ejecta mark a supernova's first light
Weimin Yuan, Qiu-Ju Huang, Jin-Ping Zhu +130
Massive stars die as core-collapse supernovae, whose optical light emerges days after the implosion. Theory predicts that the initial collapse-driven shock, upon breaking through t…
Parkes transient events: II. Pulsar single pulses database containing raw data segment
Xuan Yang, S. B. Zhang, Le-Yu Tang +2
We have re-processed single pulse candidates from the first four years (1997-2001) of the Parkes Multibeam receiver system observations, creating a new Parkes transient database (P…
Softness Ratio of SWIFT Gamma-ray Bursts and Relevant Correlations
Fan Xu, Yong-Feng Huang, Liang Li +7
The properties of X-ray flashes (XRFs) and X-ray rich gamma-ray bursts (XRRs) as compared with classical gamma-ray bursts (C-GRBs) have been widely discussed during the \emph{Swift…
A possible periodic RM evolution in the repeating FRB 20220529
Yi-Fang Liang, Ye Li, Zhen-Fan Tang +18
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are mysterious millisecond-duration radio transients of extragalactic origin. Some of them repeat, while others apparently do not. Investigations of period…
