Foreground Characterization and Mitigation in the Observations of the CD/EoR with the SKA
Philip Bull, Jacob Burba, Emilio Ceccotti +20
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA), with its unprecedented sensitivity, frequency coverage, and large collecting area, is poised to revolutionize our understanding of the Cosmic Dawn…
Overview of 21cm Experiments at high redshift with SKAO
CD Science Working Group, Gianni Bernardi, Daniela Breitman +81
We provide an overview of the eight SKAO Science Book chapters that motivate the Epoch of Reionisation and Cosmic Dawn experiments with SKA-Low. We describe the individual SKA-Low…
Methodological Frontiers in 21-cm Intensity Mapping: the Treatment of Systematics and Foreground Contamination
Marta Spinelli, Matilde Barberi-Squarotti, José Luis Bernal +29
The distribution of neutral hydrogen (HI) in the post-reionization universe traces the cosmic large-scale structure and therefore serves as a powerful cosmological probe. An effici…
Bayes-SCF: A Bayesian filter to mitigate foreground leakage in the 21-cm power spectrum
Khandakar Md Asif Elahi
Missing channels in radio-interferometric visibility data can introduce systematic artefacts into the estimated 21-cm power spectrum. A common workaround is to first estimate the t…
Observations of the Cosmic Dawn and Epoch of Reionization with the SKAO: Observational Lessons Learned from Precursors and Pathfinder Instruments
Eloy de Lera Acedo, James Aguirre, Dominic Anstey +34
This chapter summarizes the observational lessons learned after two decades of observations of the Cosmic Dawn (CD) and Epoch of Reionization (EoR) with SKAO pathfinders and precur…
Observational Frontiers in the post-EoR 21-cm Intensity Mapping: Lessons from the SKA Pathfinders
Khandakar Md Asif Elahi, Somnath Bharadwaj, Philip Bull +21
The 21-cm line from neutral hydrogen has long been recognised as a promising tracer of the large-scale structure of the Universe. The line is weak however, making individual galaxy…
