Automated Detection of Antenna Malfunctions in Large-N Interferometers: A Case Study with the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array
Dara Storer, Joshua S. Dillon, Daniel C. Jacobs +75
We present a framework for identifying and flagging malfunctioning antennas in large radio interferometers. We outline two distinct categories of metrics designed to detect outlier…
First Results from HERA Phase I: Upper Limits on the Epoch of Reionization 21 cm Power Spectrum
The HERA Collaboration, Zara Abdurashidova, James E. Aguirre +74
We report upper-limits on the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) 21 cm power spectrum at redshifts 7.9 and 10.4 with 18 nights of data ( hours of integration) from Phase I of the…
HERA Phase I Limits on the Cosmic 21-cm Signal: Constraints on Astrophysics and Cosmology During the Epoch of Reionization
The HERA Collaboration, Zara Abdurashidova, James E. Aguirre +81
Recently, the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA) collaboration has produced the experiment's first upper limits on the power spectrum of 21-cm fluctuations at z~8 and 10.…
Validation of the HERA Phase I Epoch of Reionization 21 cm Power Spectrum Software Pipeline
James E. Aguirre, Steven G. Murray, Robert Pascua +73
We describe the validation of the HERA Phase I software pipeline by a series of modular tests, building up to an end-to-end simulation. The philosophy of this approach is to valida…
Effects of model incompleteness on the drift-scan calibration of radio telescopes
Bharat K. Gehlot, Daniel C. Jacobs, Judd D. Bowman +76
Precision calibration poses challenges to experiments probing the redshifted 21-cm signal of neutral hydrogen from the Cosmic Dawn and Epoch of Reionization (z~30-6). In both inter…
A Real Time Processing System for Big Data in Astronomy: Applications to HERA
Paul La Plante, Peter K. G. Williams, Matthew Kolopanis +72
As current- and next-generation astronomical instruments come online, they will generate an unprecedented deluge of data. Analyzing these data in real time presents unique conceptu…
