A Local Universe Host for the Repeating Fast Radio Burst FRB 20181030A

We report on the host association of FRB 20181030A, a repeating fast radio burst (FRB) with a low dispersion measure (103.5 pc cm −3 ) discovered by the CHIME/FRB Collaboration et al. Using baseband voltage data saved for its repeat bursts, we localize the FRB to a sky area of 5.3 arcmin 2 (90% conf...

Zusammenfassung:We report on the host association of FRB 20181030A, a repeating fast radio burst (FRB) with a low dispersion measure (103.5 pc cm −3 ) discovered by the CHIME/FRB Collaboration et al. Using baseband voltage data saved for its repeat bursts, we localize the FRB to a sky area of 5.3 arcmin 2 (90% confidence). Within the FRB localization region, we identify NGC 3252 as the most promising host with an estimated chance-coincidence probability
