Periodic activity from a fast radio burst source
FRB Collaboration, M. Amiri, B. C. Andersen +70
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are bright, millisecond-duration radio transients originating from extragalactic distances. Their origin is unknown. Some FRB sources emit repeat bursts, r…
Canada and the SKA from 2020-2030
Kristine Spekkens, Cynthia Chiang, Roland Kothes +57
This white paper submitted for the 2020 Canadian Long-Range Planning process (LRP2020) presents the prospects for Canada and the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) from 2020-2030, focuss…
Low-redshift 21cm Cosmology in Canada
Adrian Liu, Simon Foreman, Hamsa Padmanabhan +6
Line-intensity mapping of the 21cm line is a powerful probe of large scale structure at z<6, tracing large-scale structure via neutral hydrogen content that is found within galaxie…
A High Spectral Resolution Study of the Soft X-ray Background with the X-ray Quantum Calorimeter
Dallas Wulf, Megan E Eckart, Massimiliano Galeazzi +7
We present here a combined analysis of four high spectral resolution observations of the Diffuse X-ray Background (DXRB), made using the University of Wisconsin-Madison/Goddard Spa…
Research and Development for HI Intensity Mapping
Zeeshan Ahmed, David Alonso, Mustafa A. Amin +51
Development of the hardware, data analysis, and simulation techniques for large compact radio arrays dedicated to mapping the 21 cm line of neutral hydrogen gas has proven to be mo…
