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…
Methods of Error Estimation for Delay Power Spectra in Cosmology
Jianrong Tan, Adrian Liu, Nicholas S. Kern +71
Precise measurements of the 21 cm power spectrum are crucial for understanding the physical processes of hydrogen reionization. Currently, this probe is being pursued by low-freque…
Measuring HERA's primary beam in-situ: methodology and first results
Chuneeta D. Nunhokee, Aaron R. Parsons, Nicholas S. Kern +64
The central challenge in 21~cm cosmology is isolating the cosmological signal from bright foregrounds. Many separation techniques rely on the accurate knowledge of the sky and the…
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…
Mitigating Internal Instrument Coupling II: A Method Demonstration with the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array
Nicholas S. Kern, Aaron R. Parsons, Joshua S. Dillon +63
We present a study of internal reflection and cross coupling systematics in Phase I of the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA). In a companion paper, we outlined the mathem…
Absolute Calibration Strategies for the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array and Their Impact on the 21 cm Power Spectrum
Nicholas S. Kern, Joshua S. Dillon, Aaron R. Parsons +69
We discuss absolute calibration strategies for Phase I of the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA), which aims to measure the cosmological 21 cm signal from the Epoch of Rei…
