Enhancing the detectability of ionized Regions during the Epoch of Reionization

Rutvik Ashish Mahajan, Raghunath Ghara, Nishant Pradeep Deo +1

We present an improved matched filter method for detecting large ionized regions in 21 cm observations of the Epoch of Reionization. In addition to detection, the method constrains…

Improved upper limits on the 21-cm signal power spectrum at and from an optimal field observed with NenuFAR

S. Munshi, F. G. Mertens, J. K. Chege +19

We report the deepest upper limits to date on the power spectrum of the 21-cm signal during the Cosmic Dawn (redshifts: ), using four nights of observations with NenuFAR. The…

The Effect of Large Optical Depths on the Non-Gaussian 21-cm signal from Cosmic Dawn

Iffat Nasreen, Kanan K. Datta, Abinash K. Shaw +6

During the Cosmic Dawn (CD), the HI 21-cm optical depth ( ) in the intergalactic medium can become significantly large. Consequently, the second and higher-order terms of ap…

Constraints on the state of the IGM at using redshifted 21-cm observations with LOFAR

R. Ghara, S. Zaroubi, B. Ciardi +21

The power spectra of the redshifted 21-cm signal from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) contain information about the ionization and thermal states of the intergalactic medium (IGM),…

First upper limits on the 21-cm signal power spectrum of neutral hydrogen at from the LOFAR 3C196 field

E. Ceccotti, A. R. Offringa, F. G. Mertens +16

The redshifted 21-cm signal of neutral hydrogen from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) can potentially be detected using low-frequency radio instruments such as the Low-Frequency Arr…

Deeper multi-redshift upper limits on the Epoch of Reionization 21-cm signal power spectrum from LOFAR between z=8.3 and z=10.1

F. G. Mertens, M. Mevius, L. V. E. Koopmans +20

We present new upper limits on the 21-cm signal power spectrum from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), at redshifts , based on reprocessed obse…

Near-field imaging of local interference in radio interferometric data: Impact on the redshifted 21 cm power spectrum

S. Munshi, F. G. Mertens, L. V. E. Koopmans +24

Radio-frequency interference (RFI) is a major systematic limitation in radio astronomy, particularly for science cases requiring high sensitivity, such as 21 cm cosmology. Traditio…

Spectral modelling of Cygnus A between 110 and 250 MHz. Impact on the LOFAR 21-cm signal power spectrum

E. Ceccotti, A. R. Offringa, L. V. E. Koopmans +15

Studying the redshifted 21-cm signal from the the neutral hydrogen during the Epoch of Reionization and Cosmic Dawn is fundamental for understanding the physics of the early univer…
