Scalable Bayesian data curation for next-generation radio experiments
S. A. K. Leeney, E. de Lera Acedo, W. J. Handley +42
Next-generation radio telescopes produce data volumes that preclude manual quality assessment, yet data curation remains essential for science. We present a general, fully automati…
Optimisation of calibration sources for global 21-cm experiments: the REACH case
Adarsh Kumar Dash, Dominic Anstey, Harry T. J. Bevins +41
The spin-flip 21-cm signal from the Cosmic Dawn and the Epoch of Reionization is an essential probe of the conditions that led to the formation of the first luminous objects in the…
Circuit Modeling for In Situ 21 cm Radiometer Calibration
Gary Vincent Charles Allen, Saurabh Pegwal, Dirk de Villiers +42
Recent experiments in cosmology, particularly those aimed at detecting the faint, redshifted, global 21 cm hydrogen line (depth < ~200 mK, z > 7.5), have imposed stringent new requ…
Intrinsic Cross Polarization Ratio maps from all-sky observations with the SKA-Low prototype station Aperture Array Verification System 2
Giulia Macario, Giuseppe Pupillo, Gianni Bernardi +10
The low-frequency radio telescope of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA-Low), currently under construction in the remote Murchison shire in the Western Australia's outback, will obser…
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…
Validation of the HERA Phase I Epoch of Reionization 21 cm Power Spectrum Software Pipeline
James E. Aguirre, Steven G. Murray, Robert Pascua +73
We describe the validation of the HERA Phase I software pipeline by a series of modular tests, building up to an end-to-end simulation. The philosophy of this approach is to valida…
Spectral index of the Galactic foreground emission in the 50-87 MHz range
Marta Spinelli, Gianni Bernardi, Hugh Garsden +4
Total-power radiometry with individual meter-wave antennas is a potentially effective way to study the Cosmic Dawn () through measurement of sky brightness arising from th…
Imaging and Modeling Data from the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array
C. L. Carilli{1, 2}, N. Thyagarajan{1} +43
We analyze data from the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array. This is the third in a series of papers on the closure phase delay-spectrum technique designed to detect the HI 21cm…
Measuring Phased-Array Antenna Beampatterns with High Dynamic Range for the Murchison Widefield Array using 137 MHz ORBCOMM Satellites
A. R. Neben, R. F. Bradley, J. N. Hewitt +26
Detection of the fluctuations in 21 cm line emission from neutral hydrogen during the Epoch of Reionization in thousand hour integrations poses stringent requirements on calibratio…
Digital Signal Processing using Stream High Performance Computing: A 512-input Broadband Correlator for Radio Astronomy
J. Kocz, L. J Greenhill, B. R. Barsdell +16
A "large-N" correlator that makes use of Field Programmable Gate Arrays and Graphics Processing Units has been deployed as the digital signal processing system for the Long Wavelen…
A Scalable Hybrid FPGA/GPU FX Correlator
J. Kocz, L. J. Greenhill, B. R. Barsdell +8
Radio astronomical imaging arrays comprising large numbers of antennas, O(10^2-10^3) have posed a signal processing challenge because of the required O(N^2) cross correlation of si…
