Towards end-to-end Bayesian forward models in global 21-cm cosmology: surrogate modelling and marginalisation of beam uncertainty

Jacob L. Tutt, Dominic J. Anstey, John Cumner +3

Robust statistical inference in global 21-cm cosmology requires end-to-end uncertainty quantification that jointly handles the highly degenerate cosmological signal, foreground emi…

Impact of numerical stability in Bayesian noise wave calibration on global 21-cm experiments

Saswata Dasgupta, Adarsh Kumar Dash, Dominic Anstey +3

Detecting the global 21-cm signal from the Cosmic Dawn and Epoch of Reionization requires calibration accuracy far below the level of astrophysical foregrounds. REACH models its re…

Direct Primary Beam Correction: Untangling Mutual Coupling in 21-cm Cosmological Experiments with the SKA-Low Radio Telescope

Oscar S. D. O'Hara, Quentin Gueuning, Eloy de Lera Acedo +7

Mutual coupling between antennas has emerged as the dominant direction-dependent corruption in dense aperture arrays, imprinting pronounced sub-MHz spatial and spectral structure t…

Synchrotron and free-free mapping with simulated REACH observations between 50-170 MHz

Daniel Robins, Dominic Anstey, Harry Bevins +2

Global 21cm experiments aim to detect the hydrogen 21cm signal by separating it from foreground emission that can be orders of magnitude brighter than the signal. REACH (the Radio…

Impact of Antenna Structure and Orientation on Forward-Modelled Global 21 cm Signal Recovery

Joe H. N. Pattison, John M. Cumner, Dominic J. Anstey +4

The redshifted 21 cm absorption trough from cosmic atomic hydrogen is one of the most promising probes of the early Universe, but its detection is challenged by bright foregrounds…
