Fast radio burst dispersion measures and rotation measures and the origin of intergalactic magnetic fields
Fast radio burst dispersion measures and rotation measures and the origin of intergalactic magnetic fields
We investigate the possibility of measuring intergalactic magnetic fields using the dispersion measures and rotation measures of fast radio bursts. With Bayesian methods, we produce probability density functions for values of these measures. We distinguish between contributions from the intergalactic medium, the host galaxy and the local environment of the …
