Explore the local environments and host galaxies of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) in this 35-minute conference talk delivered at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the characteristics of galaxies that harbor these mysterious cosmic phenomena and examine how their local environments may provide crucial clues about FRB origins and emission mechanisms. Learn about observational techniques used to identify and study FRB host galaxies, including optical follow-up studies and multi-wavelength approaches. Discover how host galaxy properties such as stellar mass, star formation rates, and metallicity correlate with FRB characteristics, and understand the implications for various progenitor theories. Gain insights into the challenges of localizing FRBs to their host galaxies and the technological advances that have made such studies possible. This presentation forms part of the FTSky program, a comprehensive initiative focused on fast radio transients that brings together leading researchers to discuss recent developments in the field and their connections to FRB progenitor theories and emission mechanisms.
