abstract

We present the first catalog of fast radio burst (FRB) host galaxies from CHIME/FRB Outriggers, selected uniformly in the radio and the optical by localizing 81 new bursts to 2'' x ~60'' accuracy using CHIME and the KKO Outrigger, located 66 km from CHIME. Of the 81 localized bursts, we use the Probabilistic Association of Transients to their Hosts (PATH) algorithm to securely identify 21 new FRB host galaxies, and compile spectroscopic redshifts for 19 systems, 15 of which are newly obtained via spectroscopic observations. The most nearby source is FRB 20231229A, at a distance of 90 Mpc. One burst in our sample is from a previously reported repeating source in a galaxy merger (FRB 20190303A). Three new FRB host galaxies (FRBs 20230203A, 20230703A, and 20231206A) are found towards X-ray and optically selected galaxy clusters, potentially doubling the sample of known galaxy cluster FRBs. A search for radio counterparts reveals that FRB 20231128A is associated with a luminous persistent radio source (PRS) candidate with high significance ($P_{cc} \sim 10^{-2}$). If its compactness is confirmed, it would be the nearest known compact PRS at $z = 0.1079$. Our catalog significantly increases the statistics of the Macquart relation at low redshifts ($z < 0.2$). In the near future, the completed CHIME/FRB Outriggers array will produce hundreds of FRBs localized with very long baseline interferometry (VLBI). This will significantly expand the known sample and pave the way for future telescopes relying on VLBI for FRB localization.

    astro-ph.HE 2025-08 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    A fast radio burst has been localized to a star-forming galaxy at z=2.148, doubling the redshift reach of FRB host associations.

  2. The One-Loop Power Spectrum of Fast Radio Burst Dispersion Measures

    astro-ph.CO 2026-08 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    A one-loop EFT power spectrum model for FRB free-electron clustering matches FLAMINGO simulations to k ~ 0.2 h/Mpc, with electron bias b_e ~ 0.92 and near-perfect electron-matter correlation.

  3. The Low-mass Dwarf Host Galaxy of Nonrepeating FRB 20230708A

    astro-ph.GA 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The host of non-repeating FRB 20230708A is a dwarf galaxy with luminosity about 1.6x10^8 L_sun, stellar mass about 10^8 M_sun, and subsolar metallicity, the faintest non-repeating FRB host known.

  4. Mapping the Spatial Distribution of Fast Radio Bursts within their Host Galaxies

    astro-ph.GA 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Most fast radio bursts occur in the disks of their host galaxies, with about 11% consistent with origins in globular clusters.

  5. A Correlation Between FRB Dispersion Measure and Foreground Large-Scale Structure

    astro-ph.CO 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    FRB dispersion measures are positively correlated with foreground galaxy density at 4.2 sigma, and sightlines avoiding halos imply at least 69% of cosmic baryons reside outside virial radii.

  6. Stellar Mass-Dispersion Measure Correlations Constrain Baryonic Feedback in Fast Radio Burst Host Galaxies

    astro-ph.GA 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using 20 low-redshift fast radio burst hosts, the authors find host dispersion measure decreases with stellar mass, a trend that conflicts with the weak-feedback CAMELS-Astrid simulation.

  7. Measurement of the Dispersion$\unicode{x2013}$Galaxy Cross-Power Spectrum with the Second CHIME/FRB Catalog

    astro-ph.CO 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    FRB dispersion and foreground galaxy density are spatially correlated at 5.1 sigma, with a fitted plasma clustering cutoff near 0.9 Mpc, measured from 2,873 CHIME FRBs and about 6 million DESI galaxies.

  8. Calibrating $\rm{DM_{IGM}}-z$ relation using host galaxies of FRBs

    astro-ph.GA 2025-07 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    A claimed tight sSFR-DM_exc correlation is used to calibrate the DM_IGM-z relation, but the improvement is evaluated on the same data used to fit the model.

    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.
