Evidence for Enhancement in the Rate of Fast Radio Bursts Toward Galaxy Clusters
Mawson W. Sammons, Airene Ahuja, Matt Dobbs +25
Massive galaxy clusters can introduce gravitational lensing and populations of suppressed star formation member galaxies into the line of sight, potentially changing the distributi…
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…
A spatial filter for mitigating radio interference and its application to CHIME/FRB Outriggers
Shion Andrew, Juan Mena-Parra, Haochen Wang +16
The sensitivity of radio telescopes is becoming increasingly limited by the presence of radio frequency interference (RFI), which will worsen as the radio spectrum becomes more cro…
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…
Probing the maximum energy of fast radio bursts using thousands of sources from the Second CHIME/FRB Catalog
Vishwangi Shah, Jason W. T. Hessels, Victoria M. Kaspi +25
Quantifying the maximum energy of fast radio bursts (FRBs) can provide stringent constraints on their emission mechanisms and progenitor models. However, the most energetic bursts…
The Second CHIME/FRB Catalog of Fast Radio Bursts
FRB Collaboration, Thomas Abbott, Bridget C. Andersen +71
We present a catalog of 4539 fast radio bursts (FRBs) observed with the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) telescope between 25 July 2018 and 15 September 2023.…
