Ensuring Robustness in Training Set Based Global 21-cm Cosmology Analysis

Neil Bassett, David Rapetti, Keith Tauscher +2

We present a methodology for ensuring the robustness of our analysis pipeline in separating the global 21-cm hydrogen cosmology signal from large systematics based on singular valu…

Modelling the Galactic Foreground and Beam Chromaticity for Global 21-cm Cosmology

Joshua J. Hibbard, Keith Tauscher, David Rapetti +1

In order to characterize and model the beam-weighted foreground for global 21-cm signal experiments, we present a methodology for generating basis eigenvectors that combines analyt…

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…
