A Decade to Map the Diffuse Universe: FRB-QSO Pairs with HST/COS Spectroscopy
Jessica Werk, Matthew McQuinn, J. Xavier Prochaska +16
Jointly analyzing the sightlines of arcsecond-localized fast radio bursts (FRBs) and UV-bright quasars (QSOs) nearby in projection has the potential to provide strong constraints o…
Constraining Gas Mass Fractions in Galaxy Groups and Clusters with the First CHIME/FRB Outrigger
Adam E. Lanman, Sunil Simha, Kiyoshi W. Masui +16
In recent years, localized fast radio bursts (FRBs) have emerged as a powerful tool to study the structure of the baryonic matter in the universe. Their dispersion measures (DMs) s…
Constraining the mass of the M31 ionized baryon Halo using CHIME/FRB Catalog 2
Lordrick A. Kahinga, J. Xavier Prochaska, Sunil Simha +21
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) surrounding galaxies is believed to be a significant reservoir of baryons, yet its total mass remains poorly constrained. We present a novel approac…
Photometry and Spectroscopy of SN 2024pxl: A Luminosity Link Among Type Iax Supernovae
Mridweeka Singh, Lindsey A. Kwok, Saurabh W. Jha +90
We present extensive ultraviolet to optical photometric and optical to near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic follow-up observations of the nearby intermediate-luminosity ($M_V = -16.81…
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…
JWST and Ground-based Observations of the Type Iax Supernovae SN 2024pxl and SN 2024vjm: Evidence for Weak Deflagration Explosions
Lindsey A. Kwok, Mridweeka Singh, Saurabh W. Jha +89
We present panchromatic optical near-infrared (NIR) mid-infrared (MIR) observations of the intermediate-luminosity Type Iax supernova (SN Iax) 2024pxl and the extremely low…
