A Relationship Between Fast Radio Burst Dispersion Measure and Host Galaxy Inclination

Lachlan Marnoch, Stuart D. Ryder, Sunil Simha +9

It is commonly thought that fast radio bursts (FRBs) trace star formation, and that they are produced by magnetars. Both hypotheses imply that their sources are hosted primarily (b…

A spatially resolved view of Fast Radio Burst host metallicities with Integral-field Spectroscopy

Sunil Simha, Hsiao-Wen Chen, Wen-fai Fong +15

Magnetar sources are the leading theory for Fast Radio Burst (FRB) progenitors. If magnetars are indeed the dominant sources, we may thus expect any metallicity preference for magn…

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…

Probing the Mass-loss Histories of Type IIn and II-L Supernovae with Late-time Radio Observations

Charles D. Kilpatrick, Lindsay DeMarchi, Wen-fai Fong +3

We present VLA observations of 16 Type IIn and Type II-L supernovae (SNe IIn and SNe II-L) at ~1000--7000 days after explosion, probing circumstellar matter (CSM) at distances >10^…

A fast radio burst from the first 3 billion years of the Universe

Manisha Caleb, Themiya Nanayakkara, Benjamin Stappers +25

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are enigmatic millisecond-duration signals which encode otherwise unattainable information on the plasma which permeates our Universe, providing insights i…

Localisation and host galaxy identification of new Fast Radio Bursts with MeerKAT

Inés Pastor-Marazuela, Alexa C. Gordon, Ben Stappers +18

Accurately localising fast radio bursts (FRBs) is essential for understanding their birth environments and for their use as cosmological probes. Recent advances in radio interferom…
