Abstract :
The Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) and Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) have been a vital astronomical discovery over the past decades. The true nature of FRBs, a type of cosmological ephemeral discovered recently, is unknown. These originate from extragalactic origin. They have been found outside the Milky Way in distant galaxies. Theoretically, FRBs can be produced when a spinning supramassive neutron star loses its centrifugal force and collapses into a black hole. An observational signature of such implosions may have been observed in the X-ray afterglows of some long and short GRBs. Therefore, it might be that a low fraction of FRBs is linked to GRBs. In this study, we considered possible emission mechanisms associated with FRBs and GRBs, including the coherent emission model and the synchrotron shock model. The observed light curves of the bursts are also presented.
