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…
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…
Simulation based inference of the ionization history from the 2D 21 cm power spectrum
Nadia Cooper, Carina Norregaard, Romain Meriot +1
The 21 cm signal contains a wealth of information about the formation of the first stars and the reionization of the intergalactic medium during the Cosmic Dawn (CD) and Epoch of R…
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…
Likelihood-free Model Selection in Cosmic Reionization with Three-dimensional Tomographic 21 cm Lightcone Images
T. Binnie, Xiaosheng Zhao, J. R. Pritchard +1
We explore likelihood-free (aka simulation-based) Bayesian model selection to quantify model comparison analyses of reionisation scenarios. We iteratively train the 3D Convolutiona…
