Probing reionization with LOFAR using 21-cm redshift space distortions

Hannes Jensen, Kanan K. Datta, Garrelt Mellema +24

One of the most promising ways to study the epoch of reionization (EoR) is through radio observations of the redshifted 21-cm line emission from neutral hydrogen. These observation…

Initial deep LOFAR observations of Epoch of Reionization windows: I. The North Celestial Pole

S. Yatawatta, A. G. de Bruyn, M. A. Brentjens +86

The aim of the LOFAR Epoch of Reionization (EoR) project is to detect the spectral fluctuations of the redshifted HI 21cm signal. This signal is weaker by several orders of magnitu…

Prospects for detecting the 21cm forest from the diffuse intergalactic medium with LOFAR

B. Ciardi, P. Labropoulos, A. Maselli +20

We discuss the feasibility of the detection of the 21cm forest in the diffuse IGM with the radio telescope LOFAR. The optical depth to the 21cm line has been derived using simulati…

The LOFAR radio environment

A. R. Offringa, A. G. de Bruyn, S. Zaroubi +93

Aims: This paper discusses the spectral occupancy for performing radio astronomy with the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR), with a focus on imaging observations. Methods: We have analys…

LOFAR insights into the epoch of reionization from the cross power spectrum of 21cm emission and galaxies

R. P. C. Wiersma, B. Ciardi, R. M. Thomas +18

Using a combination of N-body simulations, semi-analytic models and radiative transfer calculations, we have estimated the theoretical cross power spectrum between galaxies and the…

The Scale of the Problem : Recovering Images of Reionization with GMCA

Emma Chapman, Filipe B. Abdalla, J. Bobin +8

The accurate and precise removal of 21-cm foregrounds from Epoch of Reionization redshifted 21-cm emission data is essential if we are to gain insight into an unexplored cosmologic…
