Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) probe baryons permeating the cosmic web through their dispersion measures (DMs), which encode the integrated electron density along cosmological sightlines…
Signatures of Suppressed Matter Clustering revealed by Fast Radio Bursts
Kritti Sharma, Elisabeth Krause, Vikram Ravi +3
Complex astrophysical processes regulate the growth of galaxies by injecting energy and momentum into their surroundings, redistributing baryons across megaparsec scales. The clust…
Great Walls of Cosmic Baryons in the Northern Sky
Vikram Ravi, Kritti Sharma, Liam Connor
The dispersion measures (DMs) of fast radio bursts (FRBs) encode the total ionized-gas column densities along their sightlines. Most observed FRBs originate at distances where the…
