A Measurement of Circumgalactic Gas around Nearby Galaxies Using Fast Radio Bursts
The distribution of gas in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of galaxies of all types is poorly constrained. Foreground CGMs contribute an extra amount to the dispersion measure (DM) of fast radio bursts (FRBs). We measure this DM excess for the CGMs of 10 ^11 –10 ^13 M _⊙ halos using the CHIME/FRB fi...
