Extended Data Fig. 2

The histograms show the relative binned counts of DMs accrued by the fiducial sample of 26 FRBs with b < 200 kpc. Two models for the radial density distribution of the CGM are shown: a ‘beta’ model with β = 0.5, and a modified NFW model. Results are shown in blue and orange respectively. The mean DMs of the data shown in each histogram are noted in the figure legend.
