Unveiling the Local Environment of FRB 20220912A: Sub-arcsecond GHz Radio Continuum Mapping

Yash Bhusare, Yogesh Maan, Mohit Bhardwaj +4

The local environments of repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) provide critical clues to their progenitors. While some active repeaters (e.g., FRB~20121102A, FRB~20190520B) are embed…
