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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Uncovering the Effects of Array Mutual Coupling in 21-cm Experiments with the SKA-Low Radio Telescope
Oscar S. D. O'Hara, Quentin Gueuning, Eloy de Lera Acedo +8
We investigate the impact of Mutual Coupling (MC) between antennas on the time-delay power spectrum response of the core of the SKA-Low radio telescope. Using two in-house tools -…
Global 21 cm Signal Recovery Under Changing Environmental Conditions
Joe H. N. Pattison, Jean Cavillot, Harry T. J. Bevins +2
The redshifted 21 cm line of cosmic atomic hydrogen is one of the most auspicious tools in deciphering the early Universe. Recovering this signal remains an ongoing problem for cos…
The effects of the antenna power pattern uncertainty within a global 21 cm experiment
John Cumner, Carla Pieterse, Dirk De Villiers +1
Experimental 21 cm cosmology aims to detect the formation of the first stars during the cosmic dawn and the subsequent epoch of reionization by utilizing the 21 cm hydrogen line tr…
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…
