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…
Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA) Phase II Deployment and Commissioning
Lindsay M. Berkhout, Daniel C. Jacobs, Zuhra Abdurashidova +93
This paper presents the design and deployment of the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA) phase II system. HERA is designed as a staged experiment targeting 21 cm emission m…
matvis: A matrix-based visibility simulator for fast forward modelling of many-element 21 cm arrays
Piyanat Kittiwisit, Steven G. Murray, Hugh Garsden +95
Detection of the faint 21 cm line emission from the Cosmic Dawn and Epoch of Reionisation will require not only exquisite control over instrumental calibration and systematics to a…
Bayesian estimation of cross-coupling and reflection systematics in 21cm array visibility data
Geoff G. Murphy, Philip Bull, Mario G. Santos +76
Observations with radio arrays that target the 21-cm signal originating from the early Universe suffer from a variety of systematic effects. An important class of these are reflect…
Direct Optimal Mapping Image Power Spectrum and its Window Functions
Zhilei Xu, Honggeun Kim, Jacqueline N. Hewitt +79
The key to detecting neutral hydrogen during the epoch of reionization (EoR) is to separate the cosmological signal from the dominating foreground radiation. We developed direct op…
Search for the Epoch of Reionisation with HERA: Upper Limits on the Closure Phase Delay Power Spectrum
Pascal M. Keller, Bojan Nikolic, Nithyanandan Thyagarajan +80
Radio interferometers aiming to measure the power spectrum of the redshifted 21 cm line during the Epoch of Reionisation (EoR) need to achieve an unprecedented dynamic range to sep…
Bayesian jackknife tests with a small number of subsets: Application to HERA 21cm power spectrum upper limits
Michael J. Wilensky, Fraser Kennedy, Philip Bull +2
We present a Bayesian jackknife test for assessing the probability that a data set contains biased subsets, and, if so, which of the subsets are likely to be biased. The test can b…
Characterization Of Inpaint Residuals In Interferometric Measurements of the Epoch Of Reionization
Michael Pagano, Jing Liu, Adrian Liu +75
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is one of the systematic challenges preventing 21cm interferometric instruments from detecting the Epoch of Reionization. To mitigate the effects…
Impact of instrument and data characteristics in the interferometric reconstruction of the 21 cm power spectrum
Adélie Gorce, Samskruthi Ganjam, Adrian Liu +75
Combining the visibilities measured by an interferometer to form a cosmological power spectrum is a complicated process. In a delay-based analysis, the mapping between instrumental…
Direct Optimal Mapping for 21cm Cosmology: A Demonstration with the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array
Zhilei Xu, Jacqueline N. Hewitt, Kai-Feng Chen +78
Motivated by the desire for wide-field images with well-defined statistical properties for 21cm cosmology, we implement an optimal mapping pipeline that computes a maximum likeliho…
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…
HI 21cm Cosmology and the Bi-spectrum: Closure Diagnostics in Massively Redundant Interferometric Arrays
C. L. Carilli, Bojan Nikolic, Nithyanandan Thyagarajan +62
New massively redundant low frequency arrays allow for a novel investigation of closure relations in interferometry. We employ commissioning data from the Hydrogen Epoch of Reioniz…
Revival of the magnetar PSR J1622-4950: observations with MeerKAT, Parkes, XMM-Newton, Swift, Chandra, and NuSTAR
F. Camilo, P. Scholz, M. Serylak +205
New radio (MeerKAT and Parkes) and X-ray (XMM-Newton, Swift, Chandra, and NuSTAR) observations of PSR J1622-4950 indicate that the magnetar, in a quiescent state since at least ear…
The HERA-19 Commissioning Array: Direction Dependent Effects
Saul A. Kohn, James E. Aguirre, Paul La Plante +64
Foreground power dominates the measurements of interferometers that seek a statistical detection of highly-redshifted HI emission from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). The chromati…
