Overview of 21cm Experiments at high redshift with SKAO

CD Science Working Group, Gianni Bernardi, Daniela Breitman +81

We provide an overview of the eight SKAO Science Book chapters that motivate the Epoch of Reionisation and Cosmic Dawn experiments with SKA-Low. We describe the individual SKA-Low…

Improved upper limits on the 21-cm signal power spectrum at and from an optimal field observed with NenuFAR

S. Munshi, F. G. Mertens, J. K. Chege +19

We report the deepest upper limits to date on the power spectrum of the 21-cm signal during the Cosmic Dawn (redshifts: ), using four nights of observations with NenuFAR. The…

Mitigating incoherent excess variance in high-redshift 21 cm observations with multi-output cross-Gaussian process regression

S. Munshi, L. V. E. Koopmans, F. G. Mertens +8

Systematic effects that limit the achievable sensitivity of current low-frequency radio telescopes to the 21 cm signal are among the foremost challenges in observational 21 cm cosm…

Constraints on the state of the IGM at using redshifted 21-cm observations with LOFAR

R. Ghara, S. Zaroubi, B. Ciardi +21

The power spectra of the redshifted 21-cm signal from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) contain information about the ionization and thermal states of the intergalactic medium (IGM),…

First upper limits on the 21-cm signal power spectrum of neutral hydrogen at from the LOFAR 3C196 field

E. Ceccotti, A. R. Offringa, F. G. Mertens +16

The redshifted 21-cm signal of neutral hydrogen from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) can potentially be detected using low-frequency radio instruments such as the Low-Frequency Arr…
