Continuous gravitational wave detection to understand the generation mechanism of fast radio bursts

Surajit Kalita et al.

Summary: Since the discovery of FRBs, researchers have proposed different theories and models to explain them. One recent model incorporates the Gertsenshtein-Zel'dovich effect, which suggests that gravitational waves can be transformed into electromagnetic radiation when passing through a pulsar magnetosphere. The properties of FRBs are consistent with this electromagnetic radiation, indicating that the GZ effect can account for both repeating and non-repeating FRBs.

Revised constraints on the photon mass from well-localized fast radio bursts

Hai-Nan Lin et al.

Summary: We use Bayes inference method to constrain the photon mass from well-localized fast radio bursts (FRBs), taking into account the probability distributions of dispersion measures (DMs) of host galaxy and intergalactic medium. The photon mass is tightly constrained from 17 well-localized FRBs in the redshift range 0 < z < 0.66. Assuming no redshift evolution of host DM, the 1 sigma and 2 sigma upper limits of photon mass are constrained to be m(gamma) < 4.8 x 10(-51) kg and m(gamma) < 7.1 x 10(-51) kg, respectively. Monte Carlo simulations show that enlarging the FRB sample to 200 and extending the redshift range to 0 < z < 3 does not significantly improve the constraining ability on photon mass due to the large uncertainty on the DM of intergalactic medium.

Future Constraints on Dark Matter with Gravitationally Lensed Fast Radio Bursts Detected by BURSTT

Simon C. -C. Ho et al.

Summary: Understanding dark matter is a pressing question in physics. Primordial black holes (PBHs) are a potential candidate, which are still poorly constrained in certain mass ranges. Fast radio bursts (FRBs) could be used to detect gravitationally lensed FRBs and constrain the presence of PBHs. Taiwan plans to build a new telescope, BURSTT, with a larger survey area than CHIME, to detect these FRBs and potentially constrain PBHs as part of dark matter.

CHIME/FRB Discovery of 25 Repeating Fast Radio Burst Sources

Bridget Andersen et al.

Summary: We have discovered 25 new repeating fast radio burst (FRB) sources using a clustering algorithm that identifies colocated events with similar dispersion measures (DMs). The repeaters have DMs ranging from approximately 220 to 1700 pc cm(-3), with as few as two bursts and as many as twelve. We observe a significant difference in DM and extragalactic DM distributions between repeating and nonrepeating sources, with repeaters showing lower mean values. The repeater fraction tends to stabilize at 2.6% over our total time-on-sky.

Strong gravitational lensing in Horndeski theory of gravity

Pedro Bessa

Summary: In this paper, we establish the general gravitational-lensing formalism for luminal Horndeski theories using the screen-space formalism, deriving the Jacobi matrix equation and the general angular diameter distance. We extend the focusing and multiple-lensing theorems in General Relativity to include luminal Horndeski theories and derive the constraints they must satisfy to exhibit the same gravitational-lensing behavior. This provides a way to test theories through strong-lensing effects and a theoretical framework for testing lensing predictions against observations. We find that for some theories, such as metric f(R) and unified k-essence, the obtained theorems are generally satisfied, while for others, like Galileon condensate models, the current observational constraints show the theory has the same gravitational-lensing behavior as in General Relativity.

The CHIME Fast Radio Burst Population Does Not Track the Star Formation History of the Universe

Rachel C. Zhang et al.

Summary: The association between the redshift distribution of fast radio bursts (FRBs) and the star formation history of the universe is not well understood. The recent discovery of FRB 20200120E in a globular cluster raises doubts about this assumption. By analyzing the data from the first CHIME FRB catalog, researchers find that the hypothesis that all FRBs track the star formation history is unlikely, and a model considering significant delay or a hybrid model is more compatible with the data.

Constraining primordial black holes using fast radio burst gravitational-lens interferometry with CHIME/FRB

Calvin Leung et al.

Summary: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are an exciting frontier in gravitational lensing research due to their brightness, extragalactic nature, and the coherent characteristics of their emission. In this study, a novel interferometric method is used to search for gravitationally lensed FRBs by analyzing bursts detected by CHIME/FRB. The researchers found that coherent FRB lensing is a sensitive probe of sub-solar mass compact objects and placed novel constraints on the abundance of primordial black holes (PBHs) outside the Local Group. Their observations lead to the constraint that the fraction of dark matter made of compact objects, such as PBHs, is f less than or similar to 0.8, if their masses are similar to 10(-3) solar masses.

Maximal masses of white dwarfs for polytropes in R2 gravity and theoretical constraints

A. Astashenok et al.

Summary: We examine the Chandrasekhar limit for white dwarfs in f(R) gravity and find the values of the parameter alpha that affect the limit, as well as the parameters of stellar configurations with different values of n. Discrepancies between R2-gravity and general relativity only appear when alpha is close to the maximal limit derived from binary pulsar data. The Chandrasekhar limit can potentially change for smaller alpha values in relativistic polytropes. Our calculations suggest the existence of white dwarfs with large masses that impose stricter limits on the parameter alpha for the R2 gravity model.

Constraining a modified gravity theory in strong gravitational lensing and black hole shadow observations

Xiao-Mei Kuang et al.

Summary: In this study, we investigate the strong gravitational lensing effect around rotating black holes in different gravity theories. We evaluate the lensing observables, including image position, separation, magnification, and time delays, to distinguish between modified gravity (MOG) theory and general relativity (GR). We also analyze the shadow observables and obtain a constraint on the MOG parameter based on Event Horizon Telescope observations.

CHIME/FRB Catalog 1 Results: Statistical Cross-correlations with Large-scale Structure

Masoud Rafiei-Ravandi et al.

Summary: The CHIME/FRB Project has released its first catalog of fast radio bursts (FRBs), which shows a statistically significant cross-correlation between CHIME FRBs and galaxies in the redshift range 0.3 ≤ z ≤ 0.5 in three photometric galaxy surveys: WISE x SCOS, DESI-BGS, and DESI-LRG. The results suggest that a fraction of CHIME FRBs may be located in the same dark matter halos as survey galaxies in this redshift range. Evidence is also found for a population of FRBs with large host dispersion measure, potentially related to gas in large halos.

Gravitational Wave in f(R) Gravity: Possible Signature of Sub- and Super-Chandrasekhar Limiting-mass White Dwarfs

Surajit Kalita et al.

Summary: Researchers have predicted many sub- and super-Chandrasekhar limiting-mass white dwarfs based on the observations of luminosity of Type Ia supernovae, thus forming a peculiar class of white dwarfs. These two peculiar classes of white dwarfs, along with regular white dwarfs, can be explained by a single form of f(R) gravity, which mainly affects high-density regimes. Detecting these white dwarfs directly in gravitational wave astronomy could help constrain or rule out various modified theories of gravity, linking theory with possible observations through gravitational waves.

Constraints on extended gravity models through gravitational wave emission

Gaetano Lambiase et al.

Summary: The study investigates the propagation of gravitational waves in the context of fourth order gravity coupled to a massive scalar field, using experimental results from Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. Constraints on free parameters of gravity models were inferred from current observational data. The findings suggest that massive modes may not be detectable with current experiments on Earth, based on constraints set by Solar System tests on the speed of gravitational waves.

Bounding the photon mass with cosmological propagation of fast radio bursts

Huimei Wang et al.

Summary: The study analyzes time delays to measure or constrain the photon mass using Fast Radio Bursts as an astrophysical laboratory. Utilizing a Bayesian framework with a catalog of 129 FRBs, a new bound on photon mass is obtained, providing the best limit purely from kinematic analysis of light propagation. This constraint is expected to tighten further in the future with advancements in FRBs research.
