The physical origin of fast radio bursts (FRBs) is unknown. Young magnetars born from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been suggested as a possible central engine of FRBs. We test such a hypothesis by systematically searching for GRB–FRB spatial associations from 110 FRBs and 1440 GRBs. We find that one FRB event discovered by the Parkes telescope, FRB 171209, is spatially coincident with a historical long-duration GRB 110715A at z = 0.82. The afterglow of GRB 110715A is consistent with being powered by a millisecond magnetar. The extragalactic dispersion measure of FRB 171209 is in excess of that contributed by the intergalactic medium, which can be interpreted as being contributed by a young supernova remnant associated with the GRB. Overall, the significance of the association is (2.28–2.55) σ . If the association is indeed physical, our result suggests that the magnetars associated with long GRBs can be the progenitors of at least some FRBs.

GRB 110715A是FRB 171209的起源吗？

快速无线电脉冲串（FRB）的物理起源是未知的。有人建议将伽马射线爆发（GRB）产生的年轻磁星作为FRB的可能中央引擎。我们通过系统地搜索110个FRB和1440个GRB中的GRB-FRB空间关联来检验这种假设。我们发现，Parkes望远镜发现的一个FRB事件FRB 171209在空间上与z = 0.82的历史长时间GRB 110715A一致。GRB 110715A的余辉与由毫秒磁石提供动力一致。FRB 171209的银河系外扩散测度超过了星际间介质所贡献的测度，这可以解释为是由与GRB相关的年轻超新星残骸所引起的。总体而言，关联的显着性为（2.28–2.55）σ。如果关联确实是物理上的，
