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…

PolySwyft: sequential simulation-based nested sampling

Kilian H. Scheutwinkel, Will Handley, Christoph Weniger +1

We present PolySwyft, a novel, non-amortised simulation-based inference framework that unites the strengths of nested sampling (NS) and neural ratio estimation (NRE) to tackle chal…

Radiometer Calibration using Machine Learning

S. A. K. Leeney, H. T. J. Bevins, E. de Lera Acedo +35

Radiometers are crucial instruments in radio astronomy, forming the primary component of nearly all radio telescopes. They measure the intensity of electromagnetic radiation, conve…

Receiver design for the REACH global 21-cm signal experiment

Ian L. V. Roque, Nima Razavi-Ghods, Steven H. Carey +35

We detail the the REACH radiometric system designed to enable measurements of the 21-cm neutral hydrogen line. Included is the radiometer architecture and end-to-end system simulat…

The REACH radiometer for detecting the 21-cm hydrogen signal from redshift 7.5 to 28

E. de Lera Acedo, D. I. L. de Villiers, N. Razavi-Ghods +31

Observations of the 21-cm line from primordial hydrogen promise to be one of the best tools to study the early epochs of the Universe: the Dark Ages, the Cosmic Dawn, and the subse…

Bayesian evidence-driven likelihood selection for sky-averaged 21-cm signal extraction

K. H. Scheutwinkel, W. Handley, E. de Lera Acedo

We demonstrate that the Bayesian evidence can be used to find a good approximation of the ground truth likelihood function of a dataset, a goal of the likelihood-free inference (LF…

Bayesian evidence-driven diagnosis of instrumental systematics for sky-averaged 21-cm cosmology experiments

K. H. Scheutwinkel, E. de Lera Acedo, W. Handley

We demonstrate the effectiveness of a Bayesian evidence-based analysis for diagnosing and disentangling the sky-averaged 21-cm signal from instrumental systematic effects. As a cas…

Atomic diffusion and mixing in old stars VII. Abundances of Mg, Ti, and Fe in M30

Alvin Gavel, Pieter Gruyters, Ulrike Heiter +4

We attempt to constrain the efficiency of additional transport or mixing processes that reduce the effect of atomic diffusion in stellar atmospheres. We apply spectral synthesis me…

Radio antenna design for sky-averaged 21 cm cosmology experiments: the REACH case

J. Cumner, E. De Lera Acedo, D. I. L. de Villiers +35

Following the reported detection of an absorption profile associated with the 21~cm sky-averaged signal from the Cosmic Dawn by the EDGES experiment in 2018, a number of experiment…
