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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
The Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array Dish III: Measuring Chromaticity of Prototype Element with Reflectometry
Nipanjana Patra, Aaron R. Parsons, David R. DeBoer +54
The experimental efforts to detect the redshifted 21 cm signal from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) are limited predominantly by the chromatic instrumental systematic effect. The d…
Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA)
David R. DeBoer, Aaron R. Parsons, James E. Aguirre +51
The Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA) is a staged experiment to measure 21 cm emission from the primordial intergalactic medium (IGM) throughout cosmic reionization ($z=6…
