Impact of propagation effects on the spectro-temporal properties of Fast Radio Bursts

We present a mathematical analysis of the spectro-temporal properties of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), focusing on the distortions introduced by propagation effects such as scattering and inaccurate de-dispersion. By examining the impact of different scattering timescales and residual dispersion measures (DMs), both independently and in combination, we identify systematic trends in the sub-burst slope law as defined within the framework of the …
