In Paper I we present a new model for the Galactic distribution of free electrons. In this paper we describe the input data and methodology for determining the structure and parameters of the model. Tables of the input data are provided and several figures are used to demonstrate why particular Galactic structures are needed. We identify lines of sight on which discrete regions either enhance or diminish the dispersion or the scattering. Most do not coincide with known \ion{H}{2} regions or supershells, most likely because the enhancements correspond to column densities smaller than detection thresholds for the emission measure in recombination-line surveys.

  1. Backlighting the Cosmic Web with Fast Radio Bursts: An Anthology of Dispersion Measure Cross-Correlations with Large-Scale Structure and Baryon Tracers

    FRB DMs correlate at 2.6-5 sigma with galaxies, weak lensing, CIB, CMB lensing, tSZ, X-ray clusters, SXRB and radio continuum, consistent with moderate feedback models while ruling out weak feedback at 3.5 sigma via SXRB-DM.

  2. Signatures of Suppressed Matter Clustering revealed by Fast Radio Bursts

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    FRB dispersion measures directly constrain suppression of the matter power spectrum due to feedback at k ~ 0.1-3 h/Mpc, reduce posterior variance by a factor of ~8 at k~1 h/Mpc, and exclude extreme large-scale feedbac...

  3. Cosmological Constraints from GW-FRB Associations without Redshift Measurements for LIGO-Virgo and Cosmic Explorer

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Simulations demonstrate that Cosmic Explorer can robustly constrain cosmology and host galaxy parameters from GW-FRB associations using luminosity distance-dispersion measure relations without spectroscopic redshifts,...
