Direct Primary Beam Correction: Untangling Mutual Coupling in 21-cm Cosmological Experiments with the SKA-Low Radio Telescope
Oscar S. D. O'Hara, Quentin Gueuning, Eloy de Lera Acedo +7
The paper presents Direct Primary Beam Correction, a method that uses regularized inversion of stacked Jones matrices to reconstruct and correct the far‑field beam pattern of SKA‑L…
Overview of 21cm Experiments at high redshift with SKAO
CD Science Working Group, Gianni Bernardi, Daniela Breitman +81
We provide an overview of the eight SKAO Science Book chapters that motivate the Epoch of Reionisation and Cosmic Dawn experiments with SKA-Low. We describe the individual SKA-Low…
Observations of the Cosmic Dawn and Epoch of Reionization with the SKAO: Observational Lessons Learned from Precursors and Pathfinder Instruments
Eloy de Lera Acedo, James Aguirre, Dominic Anstey +34
This chapter summarizes the observational lessons learned after two decades of observations of the Cosmic Dawn (CD) and Epoch of Reionization (EoR) with SKAO pathfinders and precur…
Uncovering the Effects of Array Mutual Coupling in 21-cm Experiments with the SKA-Low Radio Telescope
Oscar S. D. O'Hara, Quentin Gueuning, Eloy de Lera Acedo +8
We investigate the impact of Mutual Coupling (MC) between antennas on the time-delay power spectrum response of the core of the SKA-Low radio telescope. Using two in-house tools -…
Understanding spectral artefacts in SKA-LOW 21-cm cosmology experiments: the impact of cable reflections
Oscar Sage David O'Hara, Fred Dulwich, Eloy de Lera Acedo +4
The Cosmic Dawn was marked by the formation of the first stars, and preceded the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), when the Universe underwent a fundamental transformation caused by the…
A Broadband Multipole Method for Accelerated Mutual Coupling Analysis of Large Irregular Arrays Including Rotated Antennas
Quentin Gueuning, Eloy de Lera Acedo, Anthony Keith Brown +2
We present a numerical method for the analysis of mutual coupling effects in large, dense and irregular arrays with identical antennas. Building on the Method of Moments (MoM), our…
