We report on the discovery of eight repeating fast radio burst (FRB) sources found using Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) telescope. These span a dispersion measure (DM) range 103.5 to 1281 pc cm$^{-3}$. They display varying degrees activity: six were detected twice, another three times, and one ten times. FRBs likely represent bright and/or high-rate end distribution infrequently sources. For all sources, we determine sky coordinates with uncertainties...

Abstract The CHIME/FRB project has detected hundreds of fast radio bursts (FRBs), providing an unparalleled population to statistically probe the foreground media that they illuminate. One such medium is ionized halo Milky Way (MW). We estimate total Galactic electron column density from FRB dispersion measures (DMs) as a function latitude using four different estimators, including ones assume spherical symmetry MW and imply more latitudinal variation in density. Our observation-based...
