Abstract
Abstract A comprehensive analysis of the energy and waiting time distributions of the bursts from FRB 20240114A detected by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope between 28 January and 29 August 2024 is presented. For the full sample, its energy distribution cannot be fitted with the simple power-law (SPL), bent power-law (BPL), thresholded power-law (TPL) or Band function models, and its waiting time distribution excluding intervals shorter than 0.5 s cannot be fitted with the Poisson or Weibull models. Nevertheless, for the subsamples with more than 50 bursts in single-day observations, their energy distributions can be fitted with the BPL or TPL models, and their waiting time distributions are better described by a Weibull model. It is noted that the best-fitting BPL parameter β is approximately invariant within the epochs before and after 21 March 2024, with an average of $\bar{\beta }_b = 1.006 \pm 0.074$ and $\bar{\beta }_a = 1.236 \pm 0.183$ (one standard deviation), respectively. Most subsamples from the later epoch have a smaller burst rate parameter r in the Weibull model than those from the earlier epoch. The majority of bursts with E > 1039 erg occurred in the earlier epoch. The energy distributions in the high-energy range (>6 × 1037 erg) differ significantly between the two epochs, and power-law fits to dN/dE yield indices of $-1.97_{-0.02}^{+0.02}$ and $-2.34_{-0.06}^{+0.06}$, respectively. The median of the waiting time distribution of the later epoch is larger than that in the earlier epoch. These results suggest that the two epochs may be dominated by different types of bursts, possibly attributed to changes in the physical properties of the emission region.
