On the energy budget of starquake-induced repeating fast radio bursts
arxiv(2024)
摘要
With a growing sample of fast radio bursts (FRBs), we investigate the energy
budget of different power sources within the framework of magnetar starquake
triggering mechanism. During a starquake, the energy can be released in any
form through magnetic, strain, rotational, and gravitational energies.
Following findings are revealed: 1. The crust can store a free magnetic energy
of the amount of at least 6.3×10^46 erg via toroidal fields, with
frequent starquakes happening due to the instability of the crust. 2. The
strain energy develops as a rigid object spins down, which can be released
during a global starquake accompanied by a glitch. However, it takes a long
time to accumulate enough strain energy via spin-down. 3. The rotational energy
of a magnetar with P≲0.1 s can match the energy and luminosity
budget of FRBs. 4. The budget of the total gravitational energy is high, but
the mechanism and efficiency of converting this energy to radiation deserve
further exploration.
