Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are a newly discovered radio transient in astronomy. The origin of these extragalalctic millisecond timescale radio pulses is a topic of intense debate. A promising method to test their proposed emission models is by associating FRBs with other astronomical phenomena and/or searching for their multi-wavelength counterparts. Moreover, multi-wavelength follow-up is most promising for local Universe FRBs (distance < 100 Mpc). Fortunately, the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME)/FRB project has been detecting many nearby FRBs. Even better, their localization to a few arcminute precision using the CHIME/FRB baseband system can result in a reliable host association. Therefore, we propose a target of opportunity proposal to identify hosts of promising local Universe CHIME FRBs using the Gemini N-MOS instrument.
