Rotation Measure Evolution of the Repeating Fast Radio Burst Source FRB 121102
Abstract The repeating fast radio burst source FRB 121102 has been shown to have an exceptionally high and variable Faraday rotation measure (RM), which must be imparted within its host galaxy, likely by or within its local environment. In the redshifted ( z = 0.193) source reference frame, the RM …
