James Webb Space Telescope Observations of the Nearby and Precisely Localized FRB 20250316A: A Potential Near-IR Counterpart and Implications for the Progenitors of Fast Radio Bursts

James Webb Space Telescope Observations of the Nearby and Precisely Localized FRB 20250316A: A Potential Near-IR Counterpart and Implications for the Progenitors of Fast Radio Bursts

We present deep James Webb Space Telescope near-infrared imaging to search for a quiescent or transient counterpart to FRB 20250316A, which was precisely localized with the CHIME Outriggers array to an area of 11 × 13 pc in the outer regions of NGC 4141 at d ≈ 40 Mpc. Our F150W2 image reveals a fain...
