Empirical estimation of host galaxy dispersion measure towards well localized fast radio bursts

Lucas Bernales--Cortes, Nicolas Tejos, J. Xavier Prochaska +4

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are very energetic pulses of unknown physical origin. These can be used to study the intergalactic medium (IGM) thanks to their dispersion measure (DM). Th…
