Full description
Fast Radio Bursts(FRBs) are often proposed as useful cosmological probes, however much work is needed to better understand the foreground environment that it propgates through, such as the Galactic ISM and Milky Way Halo. We propose to observe three satellite dwarf spheroidal galaxies of the Milky Way to search for FRBs and pulsars. We plan to take advantage of the new CryoPAF's wide field of view to survey high stellar density dwarf satellite galaxies with substantial angular sizes: Fornax, Sculptor and Sagittarius II. Detections of FRBs and pulsars will allow us to measure the Circumgalactic Medium contribution to FRB dispersion and also the dark matter halos of these dwarf galaxies.Available: 2023-12-26
