Constraining Baryon Fractions in Galaxy Groups and Clusters with the First CHIME/FRB Outrigger

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Adam E. Lanman, Adam E. Lanman, , , | Summary: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) provide a sensitive probe of diffuse baryons: their dispersion measures (DMs) measure electron density independent of temperature and scale linearly with gas density. This makes them particularly well suited to studying the […]
