High-Redshift Signatures from the Cosmic Dawn and the Epoch of Reionization
Rennan Barkana, Oliver Basquette, Ankita Bera +22
In this chapter, we provide a comprehensive overview of the astrophysical and cosmological processes that shape the 21-cm signal during Cosmic Dawn and the Epoch of Reionization. W…
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…
Impact of Stochastic Pop~III X-ray Binaries on the Cosmological 21-cm Signal
Saswata Dasgupta, Boyuan Liu, Anastasia Fialkov +3
High-mass X-ray binaries are one of the primary drivers of the 21-cm signal from Cosmic Dawn and Reionization, playing a leading role in the thermal history of the intergalactic me…
Probing small-scale dark matter clumping with the large-scale 21-cm power spectrum
Sudipta Sikder, Hyunbae Park, Rennan Barkana +2
The 21-cm line of hydrogen is the most promising probe of the Dark Ages and Cosmic Dawn. We combine hydrodynamical simulations with a large-scale grid in order to calculate the eff…
The effect of photon re-scattering due to cosmic reionization on 21-cm images and power spectra
Sudipta Sikder, Rennan Barkana, Anastasia Fialkov
The 21-cm signal from neutral hydrogen serves as a critical tool for unraveling the astrophysical processes that shaped cosmic dawn and the epoch of reionization. We explore the us…
The Signature of Strong High-Redshift Radio Backgrounds on the Cosmic Dawn 21-cm Bispectrum
Sudipta Sikder, Rajesh Mondal, Rennan Barkana +1
Measurements from the Absolute Radiometer for Cosmology, Astrophysics, and Diffuse Emission 2 (ARCADE-2) reveal a strong radio background in the GHz frequency range. Since the cosm…
