First Results from HERA Phase II

The HERA Collaboration, Zuhra Abdurashidova, Tyrone Adams +83

We report the first upper limits on the power spectrum of 21-cm fluctuations during the Epoch of Reionization and Cosmic Dawn from Phase II of the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Ar…

Impacts and Statistical Mitigation of Missing Data on the 21cm Power Spectrum: A Case Study with the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array

Kai-Feng Chen, Michael J. Wilensky, Adrian Liu +66

The precise characterization and mitigation of systematic effects is one of the biggest roadblocks impeding the detection of the fluctuations of cosmological 21cm signals. Missing…

Mitigating calibration errors from mutual coupling with time-domain filtering of 21 cm cosmological radio observations

N. Charles, N. S. Kern, R. Pascua +80

The 21 cm transition from neutral Hydrogen promises to be the best observational probe of the Epoch of Reionisation (EoR). This has led to the construction of low-frequency radio i…

Investigating Mutual Coupling in the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array and Mitigating its Effects on the 21-cm Power Spectrum

E. Rath, R. Pascua, A. T. Josaitis +78

Interferometric experiments designed to detect the highly redshifted 21-cm signal from neutral hydrogen are producing increasingly stringent constraints on the 21-cm power spectrum…

A demonstration of the effect of fringe-rate filtering in the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array delay power spectrum pipeline

Hugh Garsden, Philip Bull, Mike Wilensky +94

Radio interferometers targeting the 21cm brightness temperature fluctuations at high redshift are subject to systematic effects that operate over a range of different timescales. T…

The REACH radiometer for detecting the 21-cm hydrogen signal from redshift 7.5 to 28

E. de Lera Acedo, D. I. L. de Villiers, N. Razavi-Ghods +31

Observations of the 21-cm line from primordial hydrogen promise to be one of the best tools to study the early epochs of the Universe: the Dark Ages, the Cosmic Dawn, and the subse…

Array Element Coupling in Radio Interferometry I: A Semi-Analytic Approach

Alec T. Josaitis, Aaron Ewall-Wice, Nicolas Fagnoni +1

We derive a general formalism for interferometric visibilities, which considers first-order antenna-antenna coupling and assumes steady-state, incident radiation. We simulate such…

Automated Detection of Antenna Malfunctions in Large-N Interferometers: A Case Study with the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array

Dara Storer, Joshua S. Dillon, Daniel C. Jacobs +75

We present a framework for identifying and flagging malfunctioning antennas in large radio interferometers. We outline two distinct categories of metrics designed to detect outlier…

Foreground modelling via Gaussian process regression: an application to HERA data

Abhik Ghosh, Florent Mertens, Gianni Bernardi +70

The key challenge in the observation of the redshifted 21-cm signal from cosmic reionization is its separation from the much brighter foreground emission. Such separation relies on…

Understanding the HERA Phase I receiver system with simulations and its impact on the detectability of the EoR delay power spectrum

Nicolas Fagnoni, Eloy de Lera Acedo, David R. DeBoer +67

The detection of the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) delay power spectrum using a "foreground avoidance method" highly depends on the instrument chromaticity. The systematic effects in…
