Peering Beyond the Veil of Last Scattering: A View of the Universe with CMB Spectral Distortions

Bryce Cyr, Nabila Aghanim, Ethan Baker +37

The frequency spectrum of the cosmic microwave background is the most precise blackbody ever measured in nature, with deviations constrained at the level of almost one part per mil…

On the detection of a cosmic dawn signal in the radio background

Saurabh Singh, Jishnu Nambissan T., Ravi Subrahmanyan +6

The astrophysics of cosmic dawn, when star formation commenced in the first collapsed objects, is predicted to be revealed as spectral and spatial signatures in the cosmic radio ba…

SARAS 2 constraints on global 21-cm signals from the Epoch of Reionization

Saurabh Singh, Ravi Subrahmanyan, N. Udaya Shankar +8

Spectral distortions in the cosmic microwave background over the 40--200~MHz band are imprinted by neutral hydrogen in the intergalactic medium prior to the end of reionization. Th…

GMOSS: All-sky model of spectral radio brightness based on physical components and associated radiative processes

Mayuri Sathyanarayana Rao, Ravi Subrahmanyan, N Udaya Shankar +1

We present Global MOdel for the radio Sky Spectrum (GMOSS) -- a novel, physically motivated model of the low-frequency radio sky from 22 MHz to 23 GHz. GMOSS invokes different phys…
