Simultaneous multi-wavelength observations of the repeating fast radio burst FRB 20190520B with Swift and FAST
read the original abstract
Among several dozen known repeating Fast radio bursts (FRBs), those precisely localized offer the best opportunities to explore their multi-wavelength counterparts, which are key to uncovering their origins. Here we report our X-ray, ultraviolet (UV), and optical observations with the $Swift$ satellite of the repeating FRB 20190520B, in coordination with simultaneous radio observations with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). Our aim was to detect potentially associated multi-wavelength bursts and identify any persistent multi-wavelength counterpart to the associated persistent radio source (PRS). While a total of 10 radio bursts were detected by FAST during the $Swift$ observations, we detected no X-ray, UV, or optical bursts in accompany with the radio bursts. We obtained the energy upper limits ($3\sigma$) on any multi-wavelength bursts as follows: $5.03 \times 10^{47}$ erg in the hard X-ray band (15--150 keV), $7.98 \times 10^{45}$ erg in the soft X-ray band (0.3--10 keV), and $4.51 \times 10^{44}$ erg in the U band (3465\AA), respectively. The energy ratio between soft X-ray (0.3--10 keV) and radio emission of the bursts is constrained as $<6\times10^{7}$, and the ratio between optical (U band) and radio as $<1.19\times10^{6}$. We detect no multi-wavelength counterpart to the PRS. The 3$\sigma$ luminosity upper limits are 1.04$\times10^{47}$ (15--150 keV), 8.81$\times10^{42}$ (0.3--10 keV), 9.26$\times10^{42}$ (UVW1), and 2.54$\times10^{42}$ erg s$^{-1}$ (U), respectively. We show that the PRS is much more radio loud than representative pulsar wind nebulae, supernova remnants, extended jets of Galactic X-ray binaries, and ultraluminous X-ray sources, suggestive of boosted radio emission of the PRS.

Parsec-scale polarimetry and kinematics of a spine-sheath jet in the neutrino-blazar TXS 0506+056
VLBI observations of TXS 0506+056 show a spine-sheath jet with aligned inner and perpendicular outer EVPAs plus a new superluminal component near the IceCube neutrino detection.
