# A census of baryons in the Universe from localized fast radio bursts

J.-P. Macquart, J. X. Prochaska, M. McQuinn et al., 2020. _Nature 581(7809), 391–395_.

Uses the dispersion of localised bursts with host redshifts to measure the electron column along each sight line, accounting for the ionised baryons that other methods miss.

## What it's used for here

The dispersion-measure and redshift relation, and why bursts matter as probes regardless of origin.
