Formulating and critically examining the assumptions of global 21-cm signal analyses: How to avoid the false troughs that can appear in single spectrum fits

Keith Tauscher, David Rapetti, Jack O. Burns

The assumptions inherent to global 21-cm signal analyses are rarely delineated. In this paper, we formulate a general list of suppositions underlying a given claimed detection of t…

Global 21-cm signal extraction from foreground and instrumental effects III: Utilizing drift-scan time dependence and full Stokes measurements

Keith Tauscher, David Rapetti, Jack O. Burns

When using valid foreground and signal models, the uncertainties on extracted signals in global 21-cm signal experiments depend principally on the overlap between signal and foregr…

Characterizing the Radio Quiet Region Behind the Lunar Farside for Low Radio Frequency Experiments

Neil Bassett, David Rapetti, Jack O. Burns +2

Low radio frequency experiments performed on Earth are contaminated by both ionospheric effects and radio frequency interference (RFI) from Earth-based sources. The lunar farside p…

Global 21-cm Signal Extraction from Foreground and Instrumental Effects II: Efficient and Self-Consistent Technique for Constraining Nonlinear Signal Models

David Rapetti, Keith Tauscher, Jordan Mirocha +1

We present the completion of a data analysis pipeline that self-consistently separates global 21-cm signals from large systematics using a pattern recognition technique. In the fir…

Dark Cosmology: Investigating Dark Matter & Exotic Physics in the Dark Ages using the Redshifted 21-cm Global Spectrum

Jack O. Burns, S. Bale, N. Bassett +15

The Dark Ages, probed by the redshifted 21-cm signal, is the ideal epoch for a new rigorous test of the standard LCDM cosmological model. Divergences from that model would indicate…

A Space-Based Observational Strategy for Characterizing the First Stars and Galaxies Using the Redshifted 21-cm Global Spectrum

Jack O. Burns, Richard Bradley, Keith Tauscher +19

The redshifted 21-cm monopole is expected to be a powerful probe of the epoch of the first stars and galaxies (). The global 21-cm signal is sensitive to the thermal and i…
