Recurrent fast radio bursts from collisions of neutron stars in the evolved stellar clusters

2017 
We propose the model describing the observed multiple fast radio bursts due to the close encounters and collisions of neutron stars in the central clusters of the evolved galactic nuclei. The subsystem of neutron star cluster may originate in the dense galactic nucleus evolutionary in the combined processes of stellar and dynamical evolution. The neutron stars in the compact cluster can produce the short living binaries with the highly eccentric orbits, and finally collide after several orbital revolutions. Fast radio bursts may be produced during the close periastron approach and at the process of the final binary merging. In the sufficiently dense star cluster the neutron stars collisions can be very frequent. Therefore, this model can explain in principle the observed recurrent (multiple) fast radio bursts, analogous to the observed ones from the source FRB 121102. Among the possible observational signatures of the proposed model may be the registration of the gravitational wave bursts by the laser interferometers LIGO/VIRGO or by the next generation of gravitational wave detectors.
