The FarView Low Frequency Radio Array on the Moon's Far Side: Science and Array Architecture

Jack O. Burns, Judd Bowman, Tzu-Ching Chang +8

FarView is a proposed low frequency radio interferometer for deployment on the lunar far side, enabled by the Moon's radio quiet environment. Operating over 1-50 MHz inaccessible f…

: A New Model for Emulating Radio Antenna Beam Patterns for 21-cm Cosmology and Antenna Design Studies

Joshua J. Hibbard, Bang D. Nhan, David Rapetti +1

In 21-cm experimental cosmology, accurate characterization of a radio telescope's antenna beam response is essential to measure the 21-cm signal. Computational electromagnetic (CEM…

The Impact of Beam Variations on Power Spectrum Estimation for 21 cm Cosmology II: Mitigation of Foreground Systematics for HERA

Honggeun Kim, Nicholas S. Kern, Jacqueline N. Hewitt +7

One key challenge in detecting 21 cm cosmological signal at z > 6 is to separate the cosmological signal from foreground emission. This can be studied in a power spectrum space whe…

The Impact of Beam Variations on Power Spectrum Estimation for 21-cm Cosmology I: Simulations of Foreground Contamination for HERA

Honggeun Kim, Bang D. Nhan, Jacqueline N. Hewitt +7

Detecting cosmological signals from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) requires high-precision calibration to isolate the cosmological signals from foreground emission. In radio inter…

Lost Horizon: Quantifying the Effect of Local Topography on Global 21-cm Cosmology Data Analysis

Neil Bassett, David Rapetti, Keith Tauscher +4

We present an investigation of the horizon and its effect on global 21-cm observations and analysis. We find that the horizon cannot be ignored when modeling low frequency observat…

Global 21-cm signal extraction from foreground and instrumental effects IV: Accounting for realistic instrument uncertainties and their overlap with foreground and signal models

Keith Tauscher, David Rapetti, Bang D. Nhan +6

All 21-cm signal experiments rely on electronic receivers that affect the data via both multiplicative and additive biases through the receiver's gain and noise temperature. While…

Global 21-cm Cosmology from the Farside of the Moon

Jack Burns, Stuart Bale, Richard Bradley +12

One of the last unexplored windows to the cosmos, the Dark Ages and Cosmic Dawn, can be opened using a simple low frequency radio telescope from the stable, quiet lunar farside to…

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…
