Low-Frequency Radio Recombination Lines Away From the Inner Galactic Plane

Akshatha K. Vydula, Judd D. Bowman, David Lewis +8

Diffuse radio recombination lines (RRLs) in the Galaxy are possible foregrounds for redshifted 21~cm experiments. We use EDGES drift scans centered at ~declination to char…

Improved Constraints on the 21 cm EoR Power Spectrum and the X-Ray Heating of the IGM with HERA Phase I Observations

The HERA Collaboration, Zara Abdurashidova, Tyrone Adams +92

We report the most sensitive upper limits to date on the 21 cm epoch of reionization power spectrum using 94 nights of observing with Phase I of the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization…

First Results from HERA Phase I: Upper Limits on the Epoch of Reionization 21 cm Power Spectrum

The HERA Collaboration, Zara Abdurashidova, James E. Aguirre +74

We report upper-limits on the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) 21 cm power spectrum at redshifts 7.9 and 10.4 with 18 nights of data ( hours of integration) from Phase I of the…

HERA Phase I Limits on the Cosmic 21-cm Signal: Constraints on Astrophysics and Cosmology During the Epoch of Reionization

The HERA Collaboration, Zara Abdurashidova, James E. Aguirre +81

Recently, the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA) collaboration has produced the experiment's first upper limits on the power spectrum of 21-cm fluctuations at z~8 and 10.…

Validation of the HERA Phase I Epoch of Reionization 21 cm Power Spectrum Software Pipeline

James E. Aguirre, Steven G. Murray, Robert Pascua +73

We describe the validation of the HERA Phase I software pipeline by a series of modular tests, building up to an end-to-end simulation. The philosophy of this approach is to valida…

Effects of model incompleteness on the drift-scan calibration of radio telescopes

Bharat K. Gehlot, Daniel C. Jacobs, Judd D. Bowman +76

Precision calibration poses challenges to experiments probing the redshifted 21-cm signal of neutral hydrogen from the Cosmic Dawn and Epoch of Reionization (z~30-6). In both inter…

A Real Time Processing System for Big Data in Astronomy: Applications to HERA

Paul La Plante, Peter K. G. Williams, Matthew Kolopanis +72

As current- and next-generation astronomical instruments come online, they will generate an unprecedented deluge of data. Analyzing these data in real time presents unique conceptu…

Validation of EDGES Low-Band Antenna Beam Model

Nivedita Mahesh, Judd D. Bowman, Thomas J. Mozdzen +4

The response of the antenna is a source of uncertainty in measurements with the Experiment to Detect the Global EoR Signature (EDGES). We aim to validate the beam model of the low-…

Absolute Calibration of Diffuse Radio Surveys at 45 and 150 MHz

Raul A. Monsalve, Alan E. E. Rogers, Judd D. Bowman +7

We use EDGES measurements to determine scale and zero-level corrections to the diffuse radio surveys by Guzmán et al. at MHz and Landecker & Wielebinski at MHz. We find…

Detection of Cosmic Structures using the Bispectrum Phase. II. First Results from Application to Cosmic Reionization Using the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array

Nithyanandan Thyagarajan, Chris L. Carilli, Bojan Nikolic +69

Characterizing the epoch of reionization (EoR) at via the redshifted 21 cm line of neutral Hydrogen (HI) is critical to modern astrophysics and cosmology, and thus a k…

Redundant-Baseline Calibration of the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array

Joshua S. Dillon, Max Lee, Zaki S. Ali +76

In 21 cm cosmology, precision calibration is key to the separation of the neutral hydrogen signal from very bright but spectrally-smooth astrophysical foregrounds. The Hydrogen Epo…
