Probing the Metallicity Dependence of Fast Radio Burst Progenitors with CHIME/FRB Outrigger Dwarf Host Galaxies

Y. Dong, W. Fong, K. Nimmo +24

Using the fast radio bursts (FRBs) localized with the CHIME/FRB Outriggers between February and October 2025, we conduct a systematic search for dwarf host galaxies. We identify an…
