27 Faraday Rotation of the IGM B IGM is discriminant between competing models of cosmic magnetism B < = DM RM Three issues for RM of IGM RM : - Main DM source depends on z (WHIM at low z ; voids at high z) - Main source of RM: hot cluster gas - DM and RM have different redshift dependencies Magnetic fields [ng] Modified equation: (Akahori, Ryu & Gaensler 2016) ALL T57 TS0 B B < < z = f 1 = DM RM WHIM DM, WHIM DM RM B,IGM z B < = z f WHIM DM, WHIM DM RM Akahori, Ryu & BMG (2016)

28 Summary & Future Work DM and RM from progenitor wind could be significant, should evolve with time - to do: full simulations, realistic wind models Joint statistics of DM and RM will become increasingly important probe - to do: properly incorporate host contribution, simulate fluence distributions FRB DMs may be sensitive to cosmology beyond flat ΛCDM - to do: sophisticated modelling of host galaxies and uncertainties - full joint constraints from FRBs with CMB, SNe, BAOs, IM, WL, RSD CAASTRO CAASTRO Gao et al.
