A Relationship Between Fast Radio Burst Dispersion Measure and Host Galaxy Inclination
Lachlan Marnoch, Stuart D. Ryder, Sunil Simha +9
It is commonly thought that fast radio bursts (FRBs) trace star formation, and that they are produced by magnetars. Both hypotheses imply that their sources are hosted primarily (b…
A Decade to Map the Diffuse Universe: FRB-QSO Pairs with HST/COS Spectroscopy
Jessica Werk, Matthew McQuinn, J. Xavier Prochaska +16
Jointly analyzing the sightlines of arcsecond-localized fast radio bursts (FRBs) and UV-bright quasars (QSOs) nearby in projection has the potential to provide strong constraints o…
Constraining the mass of the M31 ionized baryon Halo using CHIME/FRB Catalog 2
Lordrick A. Kahinga, J. Xavier Prochaska, Sunil Simha +21
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) surrounding galaxies is believed to be a significant reservoir of baryons, yet its total mass remains poorly constrained. We present a novel approac…
Constraining Gas Mass Fractions in Galaxy Groups and Clusters with the First CHIME/FRB Outrigger
Adam E. Lanman, Sunil Simha, Kiyoshi W. Masui +16
In recent years, localized fast radio bursts (FRBs) have emerged as a powerful tool to study the structure of the baryonic matter in the universe. Their dispersion measures (DMs) s…
Mapping the Spatial Distribution of Fast Radio Bursts within their Host Galaxies
Alexa C. Gordon, Wen-fai Fong, Adam T. Deller +23
We present deep optical and near-infrared observations of the host galaxies of 34 fast radio bursts (FRBs) detected by the Commensal Real-time ASKAP Fast Transient (CRAFT) survey o…
FRB Line-of-sight Ionization Measurement From Lightcone AAOmega Mapping Survey: the First Data Release
Yuxin Huang, Sunil Simha, Ilya Khrykin +12
This paper presents the first public data release (DR1) of the FRB Line-of-sight Ionization Measurement From Lightcone AAOmega Mapping (FLIMFLAM) Survey, a wide field spectroscopic…
FLIMFLAM DR1: The First Constraints on the Cosmic Baryon Distribution from 8 FRB sightlines
Ilya S. Khrykin, Metin Ata, Khee-Gan Lee +15
The dispersion measure of fast radio bursts (FRBs), arising from the interactions of the pulses with free electrons along the propagation path, constitutes a unique probe of the co…
The Environments of Fast Radio Bursts Viewed Using Adaptive Optics
Michele N. Woodland, Alexandra G. Mannings, J. Xavier Prochaska +10
We present GeMS/GSAOI observations of five fast radio burst (FRB) host galaxies with sub-arcsecond localizations. We examine and quantify their spatial distributions and locations…
A Fast Radio Burst in a Compact Galaxy Group at ~1
Alexa C. Gordon, Wen-fai Fong, Sunil Simha +14
FRB 20220610A is a high-redshift Fast Radio Burst (FRB) that has not been observed to repeat. Here, we present rest-frame UV and optical observati…
HI, FRB, what's your z: The first FRB host galaxy redshift from radio observations
M. Glowacki, A. Bera, K. Lee-Waddell +10
Identification and follow up observations of the host galaxies of fast radio bursts (FRBs) not only help us understand the environments in which the FRB progenitors reside, but als…
The FRB20190520B Sightline Intersects Foreground Galaxy Clusters
Khee-Gan Lee, Ilya S. Khrykin, Sunil Simha +7
The repeating fast radio burst FRB20190520B is an anomaly of the FRB population thanks to its high dispersion measure (DMpc/cc) despite its low redshift of $z_\mathrm{frb}…
Searching for the sources of excess extragalactic dispersion of FRBs
