| contents | FRB 20220912A is a highly active repeating fast radio burst (FRB) source, discovered by the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) using its real-time FRB detection system (CHIME/FRB). Here, we present results from a radio monitoring campaign of FRB 20220912A using CHIME, including ~200 hours of data collected by CHIME/Pulsar, spanning 1.5 years following the source's discovery. We present an analysis of a sample of 828 CHIME-detected bursts from FRB 20220912A, in the 400-800 MHz radio frequency band. The source remains highly active for ~10 weeks and has a bimodal wait-time distribution with peaks at $160^{+120}_{-70}$ ms and $306^{+14}_{-13}$ s. Assuming a radio efficiency factor of $10^{-4}$ and a beaming angle of 0.1, we estimate the total emitted energy from the source over the entire observing campaign to be $2 \times 10^{43}$ ergs. We report a 2.3$σ$ detection of a linear increase in the DM of $1.4 \pm 0.6$ pc cm$^{-3}$ yr$^{-1}$, with no significant trend in rotation measure (with a 3$σ$ upper limit of 13.4 rad m$^{-2}$ yr$^{-1}$). We contrast our findings with other active repeaters, which exhibit different DM and RM evolution to indicate that FRB 20220912A may reside in a unique local environment. |
