Fast radio bursts as a cosmic probe?
We discuss the possibility of using fast radio bursts (FRBs)---if cosmological---as a viable cosmic probe. We find that the contribution of the host galaxies to the detected dispersion measures can be inapparent for the FRBs that are not from galaxy centers or star-forming regions. The inhomogeneity of the intergalactic medium …
