Abstract
Polarimetry provides us with a powerful tool to probe the emission mechanisms and local magneto-ionic environments of fast radio bursts (FRBs). I will present an overview of the polarization properties of over 1,200 FRBs detected by the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) between 1 July 2019 and 15 September 2023, operating at 400-800 MHz. These FRBs originate from over 1,000 unique sources and represent the largest catalog of FRB polarimetric measurements from a single instrument to date. I will highlight some preliminary key results from the catalog, including a comparison of polarimetric properties between repeating and apparently non-repeating FRBs, as well as FRBs with high Faraday rotation measures (> 1000 rad/m^2) that suggest extreme local environments with strong magnetic fields and/or high electron number densities.
Anyone interested is welcome to attend.
