Abstract
We present the Hα intensity map of the host galaxy of the repeating fast radio burst FRB 121102 at a redshift of z= 0.193 obtained with the AO-assisted Kyoto 3DII optical integral-field unit mounted on the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope. We detected a compact Hα-emitting (ie, star-forming) region in the galaxy, which has a much smaller angular size (
