A High-Resolution View of Fast Radio Burst Host Environments
Alexandra G. Mannings, Wen-fai Fong, Sunil Simha +11
We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST/WFC3) ultraviolet and infrared observations of eight fast radio burst (FRB) host galaxies with sub-arcsecond localizations, including the hos…
Deep optical observations contemporaneous with emission from the periodic FRB 180916.J0158+65
Charles D. Kilpatrick, Joseph N. Burchett, David O. Jones +6
We present deep Apache Point Observatory optical observations within seconds of the outburst of the periodic fast radio burst (FRB) 180916.J0158+65 obtained on 3 September 2020. FR…
Host Galaxy Properties and Offset Distributions of Fast Radio Bursts: Implications for their Progenitors
Kasper E. Heintz, J. Xavier Prochaska, Sunil Simha +15
We present observations and detailed characterizations of five new host galaxies of fast radio bursts (FRBs) discovered with the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP…
Confronting the Magnetar Interpretation of Fast Radio Bursts Through Their Host Galaxy Demographics
Mohammadtaher Safarzadeh, J. Xavier Prochaska, Kasper E. Heintz +1
We explore the prompt magnetar progenitor scenario in the context of fast radio burst (FRB) host galaxies demographics and offset distributions. Magnetars are neutron stars with st…
Dissecting the Local Environment of FRB 190608 in the Spiral Arm of its Host Galaxy
Jay S. Chittidi, Sunil Simha, Alexandra Mannings +15
We present a high-resolution analysis of the host galaxy of fast radio burst (FRB)~190608, an SB(r)c galaxy at (hereafter HG 190608), to dissect its local environment a…
Direct measurement of the [CI] luminosity to molecular gas mass conversion factor in high-redshift star-forming galaxies
Kasper E. Heintz, Darach Watson
The amount of cold, molecular gas in high-redshift galaxies is typically inferred from proxies of molecular hydrogen (H), such as carbon monoxide (CO) or neutral atomic carbon…
