论文摘要
快速无线电爆发（FRB）的时代在2007年开放，当时偶尔在帕克斯望远镜的档案数据中发现了一个非常明亮的无知脉搏。在过去的十五年中，这种神秘的现象引起了科学界的重大关注，并成为高能天体物理学中最热门的话题之一。事件的总数最近急剧增加到几百个，这受益于新的专用调查和改进的观察技术。我们对这些爆发的理解正在经历革命性的增长，观察性突破始终如一地宣布。在本章中，我们将全面介绍FRB，包括最新进展。从基础知识开始，我们将进行人群研究，固有的物理机制以及一直到宇宙学的应用。目前存在许多公开问题，在这个活跃的年轻领域，还有更多惊喜。
The era of fast radio bursts (FRBs) was open in 2007, when a very bright radio pulse of unknown origin was discovered occasionally in the archival data of Parkes Telescope. Over the past fifteen years, this mysterious phenomenon have caught substantial attention among the scientific community and become one of the hottest topic in high-energy astrophysics. The total number of events has a dramatic increase to a few hundred recently, benefiting from new dedicated surveys and improved observational techniques. Our understanding of these bursts has been undergoing a revolutionary growth with observational breakthroughs announced consistently. In this chapter, we will give a comprehensive introduction of FRBs, including the latest progress. Starting from the basics, we will go through population study, inherent physical mechanism, and all the way to the application in cosmology. Plenty of open questions exist right now and there is more surprise to come in this active young field.
