abstract
We present the discovery of 25 new repeating fast radio burst (FRB) sources found among CHIME/FRB events detected between 2019 September 30 and 2021 May 1. The sources were found using a new clustering algorithm that looks for multiple events co-located on the sky having similar dispersion measures (DMs). The new repeaters have DMs ranging from $\sim$220 pc cm$^{-3}$ to $\sim$1700 pc cm$^{-3}$, and include sources having exhibited as few as two bursts to as many as twelve. We report a statistically significant difference in both the DM and extragalactic DM (eDM) distributions between repeating and apparently nonrepeating sources, with repeaters having lower mean DM and eDM, and we discuss the implications. We find no clear bimodality between the repetition rates of repeaters and upper limits on repetition from apparently nonrepeating sources after correcting for sensitivity and exposure effects, although some active repeating sources stand out as anomalous. We measure the repeater fraction over time and find that it tends to an equilibrium of $2.6_{-2.6}^{+2.9}$% over our total time-on-sky thus far. We also report on 14 more sources which are promising repeating FRB candidates and which merit follow-up observations for confirmation.

Evidence for Enhancement in the Rate of Fast Radio Bursts Toward Galaxy Clusters
A 3-sigma excess of fast radio bursts is found along galaxy cluster lines of sight in the CHIME/FRB second baseband catalog, about 1.4% of detections, attributed to member galaxies and gravitational lensing.

Fast Inference on Astronomical Time Series with Trans-Dimensional Flow Matching Posterior Estimation
t-FMPE uses transformer-based flow matching to infer the number and parameters of pulses in astronomical light curves, producing posteriors comparable to MCMC but orders of magnitude faster.

Constraints on Primordial Black Hole Dressed by Dark Matter Halo from Microlensing Effect of Fast Radio Bursts
A new conversion formula turns monochromatic bare-PBH microlensing bounds into extended-mass dressed-PBH bounds, and a 10^5-FRB forecast places f_PBH near 10^-4.

H.E.S.S. programme searching for VHE gamma rays associated with FRBs
H.E.S.S. found no very high energy gamma-ray counterpart to targeted fast radio bursts, setting 99% confidence upper limits on their luminosity of 10^44 to 10^48 erg/s.

Cosmological-model independent limits on photon mass from FRB and SNe data
From 68 fast radio bursts and 1048 supernovae, the authors find a photon rest mass of roughly 18 to 29 times 10^-51 kilograms depending on the assumed intergalactic gas fraction, with zero mass still allowed at 2 to 3 sigma.

Estimating the baryon fraction in the IGM from well-localized FRBs and DESI data
Using 107 localized FRBs with DESI BAO and supernova distances, the author estimates fIGM near 0.99 in the constant model but finds Bayesian evidence inconclusive between constant and evolving baryon fraction.
