Cosmology from the Highly-Redshifted 21 cm Line
Steven Furlanetto, Adam Lidz, Abraham Loeb +26
One of the next decade's most exciting prospects is to explore the cosmic "dark ages," during which the first stars in the Universe formed, with the 21 cm line of neutral hydrogen.…
A Scalable Correlator Architecture Based on Modular FPGA Hardware, Reuseable Gateware, and Data Packetization
Aaron Parsons, Donald Backer, Henry Chen +9
A new generation of radio telescopes is achieving unprecedented levels of sensitivity and resolution, as well as increased agility and field-of-view, by employing high-performance…
Astrophysics from the Highly-Redshifted 21 cm Line
Steven Furlanetto, Adam Lidz, Abraham Loeb +26
The cosmic dark ages and the epoch of reionization, during which the first generations of stars and galaxies formed, are among the most compelling frontiers of extragalactic astrop…
A 20-cm Survey for Pulsars in Globular Clusters using the GBT and Arecibo
Scott Ransom, Jason Hessels, Ingrid Stairs +3
We have been conducting deep searches at ~20 cm of >30 globular clusters (GCs) using the 305-m Arecibo telescope in Puerto Rico and the 100-m Green Bank telescope (GBT) in West Vir…
Digital Instrumentation for the Radio Astronomy Community
Aaron Parsons, Dan Werthimer, Donald Backer +21
Time-to-science is an important figure of merit for digital instrumentation serving the astronomical community. A digital signal processing (DSP) community is forming that uses sha…
