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…
RM-Tools: Software for Analyzing Polarized Radio Spectra
Cameron L. Van Eck, Cormac R. Purcell, Lerato Baidoo +19
Polarization observations using modern radio telescopes cover large numbers of frequency channels over broad bandwidths, and require advanced techniques to extract reliable scienti…
Searching for Historical Extragalactic Optical Transients Associated with Fast Radio Bursts
Y. Dong, C. D. Kilpatrick, W. Fong +24
We present a systematic search for past supernovae (SNe) and other historical optical transients at the positions of fast radio burst (FRB) sources to test FRB progenitor systems.…
Morphology of 35 Repeating Fast Radio Burst Sources at Microsecond Time Scales with CHIME/FRB
Alice P. Curtin, Ketan R. Sand, Ziggy Pleunis +27
The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment Fast Radio Burst (CHIME/FRB) project has discovered the most repeating fast radio burst (FRB) sources of any telescope. However,…
The Polarisation Sky Survey of the Universe's Magnetism (POSSUM): Science Goals and Survey Description
B. M. Gaensler, G. H. Heald, N. M. McClure-Griffiths +57
The Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) offers powerful new capabilities for studying the polarised and magnetised Universe at radio wavelengths. In this paper, we introduce the Pola…
CHIME/FRB Outriggers: Design Overview
FRB Collaboration, Mandana Amiri, Bridget C. Andersen +66
The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) has emerged as the world's premier facility for studying fast radio bursts (FRBs) through its fast transient search backe…
