The pith

SKA fast radio burst observations can constrain baryonic feedback models and strengthen Stage IV galaxy survey cosmology.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The paper forecasts how the Square Kilometre Array will detect large numbers of fast radio bursts and use their dispersion measures to map the distribution of ionized baryons from galactic to cosmological scales. Dispersion measure scatter with redshift, auto- and cross-power spectra with cosmic shear and galaxy clustering, and scattering timescales are the main observables examined. These measurements are shown to distinguish between different baryonic feedback prescriptions that currently limit the cosmological information extractable from Stage IV surveys. The same data also yield constraints on the circumgalactic medium and the epoch of reionisation. A sympathetic reader would therefore expect SKA FRB statistics to tighten feedback models and thereby improve dark-energy and growth-parameter constraints from optical surveys.

Core claim

Forecasts demonstrate that SKA detections of fast radio bursts will measure the redshift-dependent scatter in dispersion measure, the statistical properties of the dispersion-measure field, and its cross-correlation with cosmic shear and galaxy clustering from Stage IV surveys, thereby distinguishing baryonic feedback scenarios and recovering cosmological information otherwise masked by astrophysical effects; the same observations will additionally constrain circumgalactic-medium properties via scattering timescales and improve constraints on the epoch of reionisation.

What carries the argument

Dispersion measure (DM) of fast radio bursts, which integrates the line-of-sight ionized electron density and serves as a direct baryon tracer.

If this is right

  • Baryonic feedback models can be pinpointed, recovering cosmological signals masked in Stage IV galaxy surveys.
  • Circumgalactic medium properties can be measured directly from FRB scattering timescales.
  • The large redshift range of SKA FRBs improves constraints on the epoch of reionisation.
  • The mechanism behind fast radio bursts may be clarified by the extended redshift coverage.

Where Pith is reading between the lines

These are editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • If feedback models are better pinned down, derived parameters such as the sum of neutrino masses from weak-lensing surveys would shift by amounts comparable to current statistical uncertainties.
  • The same DM field maps could be cross-checked against X-ray or Sunyaev-Zeldovich observations of the warm-hot intergalactic medium to test consistency of the ionized fraction.
  • A mismatch between predicted and observed DM cross-spectra would indicate either missing feedback physics or an unaccounted systematic in the FRB host-galaxy contribution.

Load-bearing premise

The statistical properties of the dispersion-measure field, including scatter versus redshift and cross-power spectra, can be modeled from existing data and simulations with enough accuracy to separate feedback models once SKA statistics arrive.

What would settle it

If the measured DM scatter versus redshift and cross-power spectra with galaxy surveys from the first few years of SKA data do not separate the feedback models that current simulations predict to be distinguishable, the claimed improvement in cosmological constraining power does not occur.

Baryonic feedback redistributes matter on small to mid cosmological scales, ultimately limiting inferences from Stage IV galaxy surveys. Direct baryon tracers are crucial for recovering cosmological signals masked by astrophysical effects, and vice versa: galaxy formation and other astrophysical processes must be interpreted cosmologically. Fast radio bursts (FRBs) serve as such tracers: their dispersion measure (DM) records the line-of-sight integrated ionised electron density. The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be the only radio telescope capable of detecting many FRBs in the southern hemisphere, significantly enhancing synergy with surveys such as Rubin Observatory. This chapter completes the FRB trilogy by forecasting the SKA's potential to constrain the baryon distribution from cosmological to galactic scales and across cosmic time. We tackle this question by investigating the DM scatter as a function of redshift. We also study the statistical properties of the DM field and its cross-correlation with Stage IV galaxy surveys. Our focus is on cosmic shear and galaxy clustering. This shows that the SKA can play a crucial role in pinpointing baryonic feedback models, thereby greatly enhancing the cosmological constraining power of Stage IV galaxy surveys. Furthermore, we show that the SKA will be able to measure the properties of the circumgalactic medium using the scattering timescale of FRBs. Lastly, the large redshift range of FRB detections with the SKA can improve our understanding of the epoch of reionisation. It may also clarify the mechanism behind FRBs.

Referee Report

2 major / 2 minor

Summary. The manuscript forecasts the potential of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) detected by the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) to constrain the baryon distribution from cosmological to galactic scales. It focuses on the redshift dependence of dispersion measure (DM) scatter, the statistical properties of the DM field, and cross-correlations of the DM field with cosmic shear and galaxy clustering from Stage IV surveys. The central claim is that these measurements will pinpoint baryonic feedback models and thereby enhance the cosmological constraining power of Stage IV galaxy surveys; additional forecasts address the circumgalactic medium via scattering timescales and the epoch of reionization.

Significance. If the modeling assumptions hold, the work would be significant for planning multi-tracer cosmological analyses, as it quantifies how radio FRB data can mitigate baryonic uncertainties that limit optical Stage IV surveys. The emphasis on cross-correlations and redshift evolution provides concrete projections that could inform survey strategy. The paper does not include machine-checked proofs or parameter-free derivations, but the forecasts are presented as falsifiable once SKA data arrive.

major comments (2)
  1. [Abstract; DM field statistics section] The forecasts for distinguishing baryonic feedback models via DM scatter versus redshift and DM cross-power spectra with cosmic shear/galaxy clustering (Abstract and the section on statistical properties of the DM field) rest on the assumption that these quantities can be forward-modeled from existing FRB catalogs and simulations with sufficient fidelity. No quantitative validation or error propagation from sub-grid feedback uncertainties is shown, which directly affects the claimed enhancement of Stage IV constraints.
  2. [Cross-correlation forecasts section] The claim that SKA FRBs will 'greatly enhance' cosmological constraining power (Abstract) requires explicit demonstration that mismatches between assumed and true DM scatter or cross-spectra would not degrade the forecasted gains; the manuscript provides no such sensitivity test.
minor comments (2)
  1. [Methods/forecast setup] Clarify the exact redshift range and number of FRBs assumed for the SKA forecasts, as these choices affect all quantitative projections.
  2. [CGM section] The discussion of scattering timescales for the circumgalactic medium would benefit from a brief comparison to existing FRB scattering measurements to anchor the projections.

  1. Referee: [Abstract; DM field statistics section] The forecasts for distinguishing baryonic feedback models via DM scatter versus redshift and DM cross-power spectra with cosmic shear/galaxy clustering (Abstract and the section on statistical properties of the DM field) rest on the assumption that these quantities can be forward-modeled from existing FRB catalogs and simulations with sufficient fidelity. No quantitative validation or error propagation from sub-grid feedback uncertainties is shown, which directly affects the claimed enhancement of Stage IV constraints.

    Authors: We agree that the manuscript would benefit from explicit discussion of how sub-grid feedback uncertainties propagate into the forecasted DM statistics. Our forecasts are derived from DM fields extracted from a suite of hydrodynamical simulations that include baryonic feedback, but we did not perform a systematic variation across different sub-grid prescriptions or propagate those variations into the final constraints. In the revised version we will add a dedicated subsection that quantifies the impact of simulation-to-simulation differences on the redshift-dependent DM scatter and on the DM–shear and DM–galaxy cross-spectra, including a simple error-propagation estimate. This will directly support (or qualify) the claimed enhancement of Stage IV cosmological constraints. revision: yes

  2. Referee: [Cross-correlation forecasts section] The claim that SKA FRBs will 'greatly enhance' cosmological constraining power (Abstract) requires explicit demonstration that mismatches between assumed and true DM scatter or cross-spectra would not degrade the forecasted gains; the manuscript provides no such sensitivity test.

    Authors: The statement that SKA FRBs will 'greatly enhance' cosmological power is based on the nominal forecasts. We acknowledge that the manuscript does not contain a sensitivity analysis exploring how deviations between the assumed and true DM scatter or cross-spectra would affect the final gains. In the revised manuscript we will add a short sensitivity study in which we vary the input DM scatter and cross-power amplitudes within ranges consistent with current simulation uncertainties and recompute the improvement in cosmological parameter constraints. This will provide the explicit robustness check requested. revision: yes

full rationale

The paper presents forecasts for SKA constraints on baryonic feedback using external models of the DM field, FRB populations, and simulations. The central claims about enhancing Stage IV cosmological power rest on forward-modeling assumptions for DM scatter and cross-spectra that are not derived from or equivalent to the paper's own results by construction. No equations or self-citations reduce the predictions to fitted inputs, and the methodology is self-contained against external benchmarks without self-definitional loops or load-bearing self-citations.
