The true fraction of repeating fast radio bursts revealed through CHIME source count evolution

ABSTRACT Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are classified into repeaters and non-repeaters, with only a few per cent of the observed FRB population from the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) confirmed as repeaters. However, this figure represents only a lower limit due to the observation...

description ABSTRACT Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are classified into repeaters and non-repeaters, with only a few per cent of the observed FRB population from the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) confirmed as repeaters. However, this figure represents only a lower limit due to the observational biases, and the true fraction of repeaters remains unknown. Correcting for these biases uncovers a notable decline in apparently non-repeating FRB detection rate as the CHIME operational time increases. This finding suggests that a significant portion of apparently non-repeating FRBs could in fact exhibit repetition when observed over more extended periods. A simple population model infers that the true repeater fraction likely exceeds 50 per cent with 99 per cent confidence, a figure substantially larger than the observed face value, even consistent with 100 per cent. This greater prevalence of repeaters had previously gone unnoticed due to their very low repetition rates (∼10−3.5 h−1 on average). Hence, theoretical FRB models must incorporate these low-rate repeaters. Furthermore, our results indicate a significantly higher repeater volume number density, potentially exceeding observed values by up to 104 times, which in turn impacts comparisons with potential FRB progenitors.
