002242538 520__ $$9Elsevier$$aThe photon mass, mγ , can in principle be constrained using measurements of the dispersion measures (DMs) of fast radio bursts (FRBs), once the FRB redshifts are known. The DM of the repeating FRB 121102 is known to <1% , a host galaxy has now been identified with high confidence, and its redshift, z , has now been determined with high accuracy: z=0.19273(8) . Taking into account the plasma contributions to the DM from the Intergalactic medium (IGM) and the Milky Way, we use the data on FRB 121102 to derive the constraint mγ≲2.2×10−14 eVc−2 ( 3.9×10−50 kg ). Since the plasma and photon mass contributions to DMs have different redshift dependences, they could in principle be distinguished by measurements of more FRB redshifts, enabling the sensitivity to mγ to be improved.

The DM of the repeating FRB 121102 is known to $< 1$\%, a host galaxy has now been identified with high confidence,and its redshift, $z$, has now been determined with high accuracy: $z = 0.19273(8)$. Taking into account the plasma contributions to the DM from the Intergalactic medium (IGM) and the Milky Way, we use the data on FRB 121102 to derive the constraint $m_\gamma \lesssim 2.2 \times 10^{-14}$ eV c$^{-2}$ ($3.9 \times 10^{-50}$ kg). Since the plasma and photon mass contributions to DMs have different redshift dependences, they could in principle be distinguished by measurements of more FRB redshifts, enabling the sensitivity to $m_\gamma$ to be improved.

The top (green) band represents the experimental measurement of the total DM $= 558.1 \pm 3.3$~pc cm$^{-3}$. The middle (blue) band shows the extragalactic contribution, as obtained by subtracting from the central value of the total DM the galactic contribution DM$_{\rm MW} \equiv$ DM$_{\rm NE2001} + $DM$_{\rm halo} = 218$~pc cm$^{-3}$~\protect\cite{FRB121102redshift}, to which is assigned an estimated uncertainty of 20\%. The bottom (pink) band is obtained by subtracting also the estimated contribution from the intergalactic medium (IGM): DM$_{\rm IGM} \simeq 200$~pc cm$^{-3}$~\protect\cite{FRB121102redshift}, which has an uncertainty of $85$~pc cm$^{-3}$ associated with inhomogeneities in the IGM, and a 1.2\% uncertainty associated with the cosmological parameters (indicated by the narrow magenta band). The outer pink band shows the total uncertainty in the residual DM after subtraction of DM$_{\rm MW}$ and DM$_{\rm IGM}$, with errors added in quadrature. The curved (black) band shows the possible contribution of a non-zero photon mass, $m_\gamma$, also including the uncertainties in cosmological parameters.
