Explore how Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) serve as powerful tools for probing foreground structures in this 53-minute conference talk delivered at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Learn about the innovative applications of FRBs in studying intervening matter between these enigmatic cosmic phenomena and Earth, examining how these brief but intense radio signals can reveal information about the intergalactic medium, galactic halos, and other foreground structures they encounter during their journey across the universe. Discover the methodologies and techniques used to extract foreground information from FRB observations, understand the challenges and opportunities in using these transient events as cosmological probes, and gain insights into how FRB studies contribute to our broader understanding of cosmic structure and evolution. This presentation forms part of the FTSky program focused on fast radio transients, providing valuable perspectives on the intersection of FRB science and foreground astrophysics research.
