We report on improved sky localizations of thirteen repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) discovered by CHIME/FRB via the use of interferometric techniques on channelized voltages from the telescope. These so-called 'baseband localizations' improve the localization uncertainty area presented in past studies by more than three orders of magnitude. The improved localization regions are provided for the full sample of FRBs to enable follow-up studies. The localization uncertainties, together with limits on the source distances from their dispersion measures (DMs), allow us to identify likely host galaxies for two of the FRB sources. FRB 20180814A lives in a massive passive red spiral at z~0.068 with very little indication of star formation, while FRB 20190303A resides in a merging pair of spiral galaxies at z~0.064 undergoing significant star formation. These galaxies show very different characteristics, further confirming the presence of FRB progenitors in a variety of environments even among the repeating sub-class.

  1. Generalized Distributions of Host Dispersion Measures in the Fast Radio Burst Cosmology

    astro-ph.CO 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Generalizing the host galaxy dispersion measure distribution in FRB cosmology with 125 events produces Hubble constant estimates consistent with Planck 2018 and SH0ES while strongly favoring these models over narrow-p...

  2. Constraints on the baryon density from fast radio bursts using a non-parametric reconstruction of the Hubble parameter

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 conditional novelty 5.0

    FRB dispersion measures combined with non-parametric H(z) reconstruction yield Ω_b h² = 0.02236 ± 0.00090, agreeing with BBN and Planck CMB to within 0.05%.

  3. The impact of FRB dispersion measure probability distribution functions on cosmographic estimates

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Cosmographic constraints from 106 FRBs on H0, q0, j0 depend sensitively on whether a Gaussian or quasi-Gaussian PDF is assumed for DM_IGM and on whether the baryon mass fraction is fixed or free.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    LOFAR2.0, FAST Core Array and BINGO can constrain the PBH dark matter fraction f_PBH below 0.16-0.39 for masses above 10^{-2} to 10 solar masses via FRB lensing statistics.
