In this article, the authors investigate the statistical ensemble of the distribution of dispersion measures, with and without redshift information, to probe helium reionization through simulated data to redshift.Abstract:
Fast radio burst (FRB) discoveries are occurring rapidly, with thousands expected from upcoming surveys. The dispersion measures (DM) observed for FRB include important information on cosmological distances and the ionization state of the universe from the redshift of emission until today. Rather than considering the DM--redshift relation, we investigate the statistical ensemble of the distribution of dispersion measures. We explore the use of this abundance information, with and without redshift information, to probe helium reionization through simulated data to redshift $z=6$. Carrying out Monte Carlo simulations of FRB survey samples, we examine the effect of different source redshift distributions, host galaxy models, sudden vs gradual reionization, and covariance with cosmological parameters on determination of helium reionization properties. We find that a fluence limited survey with ${10}^{4}$ FRBs can discriminate different helium reionization histories at $\ensuremath{\sim}6\ensuremath{\sigma}$ using the DM-distribution of bursts, without redshift information (and $\ensuremath{\sim}10\ensuremath{\sigma}$ with redshifts).read more

Constraints on the distribution and energetics of fast radio bursts using cosmological hydrodynamic simulations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present constraints on the origins of fast radio bursts (FRBs) using large cosmological simulations, and calculate contributions to FRB dispersion measures (DMs) from the Milky Way, from the local Universe, from cosmologically large-scale structure, and from potential FRB host galaxies, and then compare these simulations to the DMs of observed FRBs.

Probing the Universe with Fast Radio Bursts
Shivani Bhandari,Chris Flynn +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the dispersion measures of fast radio bursts (FRBs) combined with the redshifts of their host galaxies have yielded a direct measurement of the baryon content of the universe, and has the potential to directly constrain the location of the missing baryons.

TL;DR: The authors' observations are inconsistent with the fast radio burst having a Galactic origin or its source being located within a prominent star-forming galaxy, and the source appears to be co-located with a low-luminosity active galactic nucleus or a previously unknown type of extragalactic source.
