In this study, we report multi-year polarization measurements of four repeating FRBs initially discovered by the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME): FRBs 20190117A, 20190208A, 20190303A, and 20190417A. We observed the four repeating FRBs with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), detecting a total of 66 bursts. Two bursts from FRB 20190417A exhibit a circular polarization signal-to-noise ratio greater than 7, with the highest circular polarization fraction recorded at 35.7%. While the bursts from FRBs 20190208A and 20190303A are highly linearly polarized, those from FRBs 20190117A and 20190417A show depolarization due to multi-path propagation, with <i>σ</i><sub>RM</sub> = 2.78 ± 0.05 and 5.19 ± 0.09 rad m<sup>−2</sup>, respectively.

FRBs 20190117A, 20190303A, and 20190417A exhibit substantial rotation measure (RM) variations between bursts, joining other repeating FRBs in this behavior. Combining these findings with published results, 64% of repeating FRBs show RM variations greater than 50 rad m<sup>−2</sup>, and 21% exhibit RM reversals. A significant proportion of repeating FRBs reside in a dynamic magneto-ionic environment. The structure function of RM variations shows a power-law index of <i>γ</i> ∼ (0–0.8), corresponding to a shallow power spectrum <i>α</i> = −(<i>γ +</i> 2) ∼ −(2.0–2.8) of turbulence, if the RM variations are attributed to turbulence. This suggests that the variations are dominated by small-scale RM density fluctuations. We perform K-S tests to compare the RMs of repeating and non-repeating FRBs, which reveal a marginal dichotomy in the distribution of their RMs. We caution that the observed dichotomy may be due to the small sample size and selection biases.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":774,"journal":{"name":"Science China Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy","volume":"68 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145169203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We derive the relativistic hydrodynamics of the complex SFDM in the framework of cosmological perturbation theory. Our formalism contains two novel ingredients uniquely associated with the complex SFDM model: the Eckart frame defined by the conserved Noether current, and the stiff gauge condition, <span>(c_{s}^{2}equiv(delta P/deltarho)vert_{s}=1)</span>. In the Eckart frame, the complex SFDM is effectively an imperfect fluid with a dissipative energy flux, distinguishing itself from axion dark matter. The energy flux can affect the growth of density fluctuations dynamically. Meanwhile, we apply the stiff gauge condition to find new constitutive equations for the complex SFDM. We revisit the homogeneous evolution of the complex SFDM and present illustrative early-stage solutions for perturbations of the complex SFDM in a simplified setting.

In this review, we examine both historical and recent advances in the study of periodic orbits for the planar three-body problem. We provide an overview of the general three-body problem, the definition and identification of numerical periodic orbits, and the topological classification methods used to categorize these solutions. Additionally, we describe the clean numerical simulation (CNS) employed to obtain accurate trajectories, as well as both analytical and numerical results for periodic orbits in systems with different initial configurations, with equal or unequal masses, with or without angular momentum.
