Radio antenna design for sky-averaged 21 cm cosmology experiments: the REACH case
J. Cumner, E. De Lera Acedo, D. I. L. de Villiers +35
Following the reported detection of an absorption profile associated with the 21~cm sky-averaged signal from the Cosmic Dawn by the EDGES experiment in 2018, a number of experiment…
Scalable Bayesian data curation for next-generation radio experiments
S. A. K. Leeney, E. de Lera Acedo, W. J. Handley +42
Next-generation radio telescopes produce data volumes that preclude manual quality assessment, yet data curation remains essential for science. We present a general, fully automati…
Receiver design for the REACH global 21-cm signal experiment
Ian L. V. Roque, Nima Razavi-Ghods, Steven H. Carey +35
We detail the the REACH radiometric system designed to enable measurements of the 21-cm neutral hydrogen line. Included is the radiometer architecture and end-to-end system simulat…
Radiometer Calibration using Machine Learning
S. A. K. Leeney, H. T. J. Bevins, E. de Lera Acedo +35
Radiometers are crucial instruments in radio astronomy, forming the primary component of nearly all radio telescopes. They measure the intensity of electromagnetic radiation, conve…
The REACH radiometer for detecting the 21-cm hydrogen signal from redshift 7.5 to 28
E. de Lera Acedo, D. I. L. de Villiers, N. Razavi-Ghods +31
Observations of the 21-cm line from primordial hydrogen promise to be one of the best tools to study the early epochs of the Universe: the Dark Ages, the Cosmic Dawn, and the subse…
