HiFAST: An HI data calibration and imaging pipeline for the FAST IV: The stray-radiation correction

Qingze Chen, Jie Wang, Yingjie Jing +12

Stray radiation is a considerable challenge for radio telescopes, requiring careful assessment due to its effects. This is crucial when the strong background flux from side lobes s…

The FAST Galactic Plane Pulsar Snapshot Survey: II. Discovery of 76 Galactic rotating radio transients and their enigma

D. J. Zhou, J. L. Han, Jun Xu +15

We are carrying out the GPPS survey by using the FAST, the most sensitive systematic pulsar survey in the Galactic plane. In addition to about 500 pulsars already discovered throug…

Assessing the impact of two independent direction-dependent calibration algorithms on the LOFAR 21-cm signal power spectrum

H. Gan, F. G. Mertens, L. V. E. Koopmans +11

Detecting the 21-cm signal from the Epoch of Reionisation (EoR) is challenging due to the strong astrophysical foregrounds, ionospheric effects, radio frequency interference and in…

Statistical analysis of the causes of excess variance in the 21 cm signal power spectra obtained with the Low-Frequency Array

H. Gan, L. V. E Koopmans, F. G. Mertens +11

The detection of the 21 cm signal of neutral hydrogen from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) is challenging due to bright foreground sources, radio frequency interference (RFI), the…

A numerical study of 21-cm signal suppression and noise increase in direction-dependent calibration of LOFAR data

M. Mevius, F. Mertens, L. V. E. Koopmans +14

We investigate systematic effects in direction dependent gain calibration in the context of the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) 21-cm Epoch of Reionization (EoR) experiment. The LOFAR…

Improved upper limits on the 21-cm signal power spectrum of neutral hydrogen at from LOFAR

F. G. Mertens, M. Mevius, L. V. E Koopmans +23

A new upper limit on the 21-cm signal power spectrum at a redshift of is presented, based on 141 hours of data obtained with the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR). The an…
