Fast Radio Bursts as Probes of Magnetic Fields in Galaxies at z < 0.5

We present a sample of nine fast radio bursts (FRBs) from which we derive magnetic field strengths of the host galaxies represented by normal, z < 0.5 star-forming galaxies with stellar masses M _* ≈ 10 ^8 –10 ^10.5 M _⊙ . We find no correlation between the FRB rotation measure (RM) and redshift,...
