abstract
We present the Deep Synoptic Array (DSA-110) discovery and interferometric localization of the so far non-repeating FRB 20220319D. The FRB originates in a young, rapidly star-forming barred spiral galaxy, IRAS 02044$+$7048, at just 50 Mpc. Although the NE2001 and YMW16 models for the Galactic interstellar-medium (ISM) contribution to the DM of FRB 20220319D exceed its total observed DM, we show that uncertainties in these models accommodate an extragalactic origin for the burst. We derive a conservative upper limit on the DM contributed by the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of the Milky Way: the limit is either 28.7 pc cm$^{-3}$ and 47.3 pc cm$^{-3}$, depending on which of two pulsars nearby on the sky to FRB 20220319D is used to estimate the ISM DM. These limits both imply that the total Galactic CGM mass is $<10^{11}M_{\odot}$, and that the baryonic mass of the Milky Way is $\lesssim60\%$ of the cosmological average given the total halo mass. More stringent albeit less conservative constraints are possible when the DMs of pulsars in the distant globular cluster M53 are additionally considered. Although our constraints are sensitive to possible anisotropy in the CGM and to the assumed form of the radial-density profile, they are not subject to uncertainties in the chemical and thermal properties of the CGM. Our results strongly support scenarios commonly predicted by galaxy-formation simulations wherein feedback processes expel baryonic matter from the halos of galaxies like the Milky Way.

Locating the missing baryons in the warm-hot intergalactic medium with fast radio bursts and the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect
Cross-correlating CHIME fast radio burst dispersion measures with the Planck tSZ map, with galaxy clusters masked, detects diffuse warm-hot gas and suggests it holds about half of the cosmic baryons.

Probing baryonic feedback and cosmology with 3$\times$2-point statistic of FRBs and galaxies
A Fisher forecast shows that combining FRB dispersion-measure correlations with galaxy clustering can constrain baryonic feedback to about 3% and cosmological parameters to 10-18% with 10^4 FRBs.

Stellar Mass-Dispersion Measure Correlations Constrain Baryonic Feedback in Fast Radio Burst Host Galaxies
Using 20 low-redshift fast radio burst hosts, the authors find host dispersion measure decreases with stellar mass, a trend that conflicts with the weak-feedback CAMELS-Astrid simulation.

A hydrodynamical simulations-based model that connects the FRB DM--redshift relation to suppression of the matter power spectrum via feedback
A log-normal model of FRB dispersion measure, with variance computed from the electron power spectrum in hydrodynamical simulations, connects FRB observations to baryonic feedback and matter power spectrum suppression.

The dispersion measure and scattering of Fast Radio Bursts: contributions from multi-components, and clues for the intrinsic properties
A mixed young/old FRB population model tuned to CHIME data reproduces the dispersion measure distribution and approximately the scattering distribution, giving fPSFR = 0.58, log10(E*/erg) = 42.27, and gamma = -1.60.

Reinvestigation of Fast Radio Burst Host Galaxy and Event Rate Density
Local FRB rates are very sensitive to the assumed host-galaxy DM, and current localized samples show no significant host-DM difference between repeaters and non-repeaters.
